    Help with a name and unit

    Gents,

    Can you help me translate this:

    Hptm K. Halbich
    1/PZ GR Rgt 2 HG

    I think the Hptm is for Hauptmann and the next line is
    1st Panzer Grenadier Regiment 2 Hermann Goring.

    The above is located on the back of a Luftwaffe Helmet.
    Once I can get a better read on it I will start looking to find
    out who he was.

    Let me know if I am on or off the mark.

    Thanks

    if the 1 is in roman numerals , ie. I it means battalion, if it's 1 then it's the 1st company

    so, 1st company, Panzergrenadier Regiment 2 Hermann Göring.

    if it is a 1 then a Hauptmann can only be the kompanie chef, ie. company commander.

      Name and Unit

      Simon,
      Thanks for the information and here is a picture of the helmet.
      Based on your insight it should be 1st Company. How would I go
      about trying to find out who he was? I have done some searching on the
      internet but nothing.
      Thanks again.

          The correct name is "K. Hälbich " (K. Haelbich).
