    What do these Luftwaffe Unit markings stand for ???

    If anyone can help me out, I'd be grateful. I just picked up this cap outof a house and I cannot find my reference book on the unit abbreviations.
    The pipng on this cap, which is dated 1937, is the same color as the cap body. I seem to recall that pre-war this was used by reservists. Anyone know if that's correct?
    Thanks, guys !

      Hello Bill,
      The one stamp stands for Fliegerhorst Command (air base command) Dedelstorf--the other looks like Sonderabteilung/ something (special detachment/ something)--I can't make out what is on the other side of the /.

          The Special companies were associated with disciplinary units, right?

            Yes, but also for other types of unit.
            Collecting German award documents, other paperwork and photos relating to Norway and Finland.
