Dear Forum Members,

Can you please let me know what unit this is:

II. SS Totenkopf Kraftfahr-Lehr-Abteilung
Sonderkommando der Waffen-SS Oranienburg bei Berlin

Is this a concentration camp related unit?

Many Thanks,
Dave.

Unit

It translates roughly to 2nd-SS Totenkopf Automotive Lehr (Training) Battalion Special Detail of the Waffen SS Oranienburg near Berlin. It would have been KZ related.

Thank you. Now I will try to find some details.

KL Oranienburg became the HQ of the KL Inspectorate and it's admin centre, very close to KL Sachsenhausen. Maybe it was the centre for the KL motor pool and driver training ?

Although this is German it states all of the SS-TK KZ Motor Pools.

Hope this helps
