    Sicherungskommandant der Luftflotte 2 in Italy

    I look for information on this EK 2 certificate in a paper lot of a Flak Fahnenjunkers assigned during the Operation 'Wallenstein against the Italian partisans in the Central Apennines in the summer of 1944.

    His unit is the Schw. Flak Abteilung 163, the feldpost numbers should be 10602 of the Stab Flak-Regiment 131 (which I imagine coordinates operations of the Flak and Luftwaffe units during the great roundup)
    First question why in the feldpost stamp is written "Munchen"?

    Second question: Sign the Oberst (if I read well) Menhart as Sicherungskommandant der Luftflotte 2. Someone has informations about this officer and his unit?

    many thanks Oriano
