Help on Luftwaffe unit

[John C]

Greetings,


I have a Christmas card for a Luftwaffe unit supposedly in Russia during 1942. The unit on the card is

4./Lu.-Regiment Nr. 1

I was wondering if anyone can give me the battle history of this unit and exactly where it was located in Russia during the winter of 1942. I am eager to know exactly what this units function was in Russia.

Thanks in advance,

John

That's the 4th company of Luftnachrichten Regiment 11. An air signals or air communications unit providing communications for the luftwaffe.

the 4th company was a telegraph unit and as you can see from the link under it was placed under Luftflotte 1
