I have a picture of a grave and lot of pictures from funeral. On the cross is written:
Rich. Strömel
Leutnant
3. Bb. 17

which unit could this be?
thanks

Heer or Luftwaffe? What is the date?

If Heer it could be:

3. Lichtmess-Batterie of Beobachtungsabteilung 17

It is Heer. For now i have only this info. I'll make some pictures. The squad that is on funeral is wearing white colored helmets.
