Polizei Regiment 13 Question

[BCraig]

I had picked up some feldpost over the weekend for a German policeman with Feldpost Number 08159 D. If I did my research correctly, he was in Polizei Regiment 13 (III/Pol. Rgt. 13).

The feldpost indicates that he had arrived in Russia in early July 1942. He was sent to a hospital in Smolensk by late July 42 and then to Königsberg where he died in Sep 42.

Does anybody know what sort of action that the Pol. Rgt. 13 was seeing in July 42 (if any) or where exactly that they were at?

Thanks

In july 42 this fp number actually belonged to Polizei bataillon 301, the D indicating the 3 kompanie. it then became the III Btl. of Pol.Rgt.13

The regiment was on security duties, i think, but am by no means sure, along the railroad between Smolensk and Wjasma.
