Hello, I have an EK2 award citation to 20 Flakdivision dated 24.12.1942.
This is the time they were in Tunisia.
The stamp on it reads 20 Flakdivision (Trop.)
I just wondered was it official for all units serving in tropical regions to add the (Trop.) suffix to their unit titles on citation stamps ?
What was the actual purpose of adding the (Trop.) ?
Thanks for any help.
