    SS FPN Help (Arnhem 1944)

    Hi,
    I have 4 feldpost letters to an SS soldier based in the Arnhem area in mid to late 1944 (the dates range from March to Sept). Can anyone help and tell me the following...

    1) Who did FPN 33501C belong to (as on the official stamp)?
    2) Who did FPN 18249D belong to (as crossed out on 3 envelopes)?
    3) Who did FPN 26924 IIb belong to (as crossed out on one envelope)?
    4) What does the handwriting say in the bottom left of each envelope with the date 4.10.44?

    I have two award citations to the same soldier dated in Feb 1944 but he was then serving with SS Pz.Gren Rgt 5 "Totenkopf" so I am assuming he was posted to the west for rest/training/instructional duties.
    I have attached scans of the envelopes.
    Thanks for any information.

        1) FPN 33501C = 7.2.1944 Stab III. u.9.12.Kp.Pz.Gr.Rgt.5 (3.SS-Div.)
        2) FPN 18249D = 15.2.1944 Stab II./ u.5.-8.Kp.Gr.Rgt.5 (3.SS-Div.)
        3) FPN 26924 IIb = 15.2.-30.7.42 Feldlaz. 700 (no other entries after this date). The suffix "IIb" is unusual. Hopefully someone else knows what that means.
        4) Zurück: Neue Anschrift anwarten = Return [to sender]: Awaiting new address
        Handwriting: Empfänger vermißt = Addressee missing

        Seems like SS Mann Georg Höper was MIA. Found this on Volksbund:
        Nachname: Höper 
        Vorname: Georg 
        Dienstgrad:  
        Geburtsdatum: 05.11.1926 
        Geburtsort:  
        Todes-/Vermisstendatum: 01.08.1944 
        Todes-/Vermisstenort: Warschau / Narew Brückenkopf 
        Nach den uns vorliegenden Informationen ist die o. g. Person seit 01.08.1944 vermißt.
        Hope that helps.
        Jason
