This is a long shot, but does anyone know who this chap is? The back of one of his feldpost envelopes may shed some light - can anyone read what it says?
Any help would be appreciated.

30593
(Mobilmachung-1.1.1940) 1. Flughafen-Betriebs-Kompanie Zerstörergeschwader 2,
dann 1. Flughafen-Betriebs-Kompanie Jagdgruppe 102,
(30.7.1941-28.2.1942) 1. Flughafen-Betriebs-Kompanie Zerstörergeschwader 2,
(12.3.1943-7.9.1943) 130. Flughafen-Betriebs-Kompanie (Quartiermeister),

What's the date on the front of the envelope? Can you read it?

Letter to the parents. First sentence or two state that he received 3 letters containing money (20 and 100 RM, from what I can read) and he thanks them for same. Not so sure after that....looks like he might've received some eggs for his birthday also...

Here the German text of the letter:
9.3.42
Liebe Eltern,
teile Euch mit, dass ich 3 Briefe mit 20,-- M(ark) sowie 100,-- M(ark) auf Postanweisung erhalten habe. Vielen Dank dafür u(nd) besonders für das Geld zum Geburtstag. Ich habe soeben erfahren, dass wir noch etwas länger hierbleiben, wahrscheinlich bis Mitte April. In den nächsten Tagen will ich versuchen, die gewünschten Sachen einzukaufen, im Augenblick habe ich wenig Zeit. Sicherlich bekomme ich auch noch mal Butter. Seit vorgesetern ist hier herrliches Frühlingswetter, nur nachts ist es noch kalt.
Für heute viele Grüße
Euer Walter.
