Name and number inside helmet

[hlynur76]

Hi guys. I had this Helmet in my collection for some years now and I never had the bother to check out this name and number inside the helmet.

Is there any way to find out the division, when, where and etc. with this number?
I don´t know but what is this number for?

It´s say "Gefr. Fenitz" with "L33203" (I think)

Needle in haystack?

"Fenitz" is a name you will not find in the recent German phone book, not even one entry.

If it would be "Fernitz" you would find about 30 entries.

May be the name comes from Austria?

thank you for your tips hucks.

It looks like "Fenitz" to me. Austrian? It could be, but I have no clue about names

Can we say that this Gefreiter was in some kind of a maintenance units for flaks in Nurnberg area? Wehrkreise XIII that is.

Gefreiter Fernitz

I noticed the eagle on the side of the helmet, which is the Luftwaffe (Air Force) symbol. It's unfortunate that there is no first name or initial inscribed. The Fernitz family is primarily from East Prussia area.

It´s "Fenitz" not "Fenritz" inside the helmet.

I looked at "Fenitz" in Telefonbuch Östrreich and found no names in there. After little Internet search I found that name to be rare and comes from here and there in the world.

Could the owner of this helmet be a foreign volunteer or he just spell his own name wrong inside his helmet (not likely imo)
