According to Norbert Kannapin's book:

FpN L 25703: (U) 4.Kp.Bau-Btl.36,(1)gestr., (5) Gleisbauzug 0303, (6) gestr., (8) Sperrverband Nord (Alarm-Einh.), (9) 27.10.44 gestr., (10) 29.9.1944 San.Kp.1582, am 19.10.1944 San.Kp.26.

FpN L 13656: (U) 4. Battr.Flak-Abt. I/19, (1) 4.Battr.Flak-Rgt.19.

Now you know everything, right?

The numbers in brackets are time points when data was incorporated into latest editions of the FpN listings. Specifically:
(U) - mobilization to 1.1.40
(1) - 2.1 - 27.4.40
(2) - 28.4 - 14.9.40
(3) - 15.9.40 - 31.1.41
(4) - 1.2. - 11.7.41
(5) - 12.7.41 - 26.1.42
(6) - 27.1 - 14.7.42
(7) - 15.7.42 - 24.1.43
(8) - 25.1 - 31.7.43
(9) - 1.8.43 - 23.3.44
(10) - 24.3 - 6.11.44
(11) - 7.11.44 to war's end.

Now, if can just read German military abbreviations .....

Thanks for the information. FpNr. 25703 is matching up with a unit in the area, the information came from. But FpNr. L13656 seems doubtful. Unfortunately, I cannnot locate 4./Flak Regiment 19 anywhere in the Ardenes in January 1945.

Thaky very much again,

In early '90 Fw 190 was found near Kolberg (Kolobrzeg) in Poland. Plane was shot down on March 3rd, 1945 and on board Johannes Evert and Feldfebel H. Stobbe were killed.
There was some docs found, amongst them was number of Feldpost - L 35315 Posen. Unfortunately there was no info about Geschwader. Can anyone help with this unit?

Hi Björn!

AFAIK SG 1 had some Fw 190s and it fits quite well. Unfortunately this plane is heavily damaged and I can't tell anything about it - probably it was Fw 190A-8.

Thanks!

FpN for 15./JG 52
Tue Jul 30 04:49:24 2025
205.188.208.9

According to the Kannapin book, this FpN first appeared sometime in the period July 30 41 to Feb 28th 42. The Staffel was "formed" as 15./JG 52 in October 41 as the Luftwaffe term for the IV Fighter Group (IV. Lovacka skupina) of the Croatian Air Force. The unit was actually created on July 14 41 at Zagreb and had Luftwaffe uniforms when subsequently training in Germany.

Therefore the start date for the use of FpN L36348 is unclear but it was probably from no later than October 41.

Need help w/name & number

64.180.97.110

Hello;
In restoring a Luftwaffe map pouch I have been able to to discover the following written in ink on the inside of the flap:

Uffz Wachter
TeN 18893

The Wachter name has an umlaut over the "a". If so, then that could be a persons name which translates to "Guard" in English. Re: "Uffz" I assume this means Unteroffizzer. The "T" in "TeN" is slanted on top and notched. I think it might be old German script for "S".
Does anyone recognize this series of numbers "18893"?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Cheers;
Russ

Identification
Mon Aug 19 19:29:51 2025
64.12.103.53

The "TeN" is far more likely to be "FpN" or "LpN", the abbreviation for Feldpostnummer. LpN 18893 was assigned to Stab/Luftwaffen-Baubataillon 14/XI from summer 1940 to spring-summer 1943, at which time it was disbanded. The battalion served in the East, and on 20 June 1941 it was located at Dubowo/Poland. It appears to have been mainly concerned with airfield construction in the rear areas. Dubowo is 5.7 km south of Suwalki in NE Poland where a number of forward airfields had been constructed during the first half of 1941 in preparation for the attack on the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941. It was very common practice for Wehrmacht service personnel to write their name and FpN on their equipment. Since construction units were heavy users of maps, your map pouch seems to fit nicely into this scenario.

Hi Larry,
many thanks for the information. Do you have further details about this unit (planes/markings/etc.)?

Yes, Wolfgang, I have a little that might be useful.

As you know, Ln.Abt.41, including 5.(Flieger) Kp., provided communications support to XI.Fliegerkorps. Its Heimathorst was at Braunschweig-Querum.

On 10 August 1943 die gesamte 5.(Flieger) Kp. was at Istres in South France with the following aircraft:
6(1) Ju 52
3(2) Fi 156
2(0) Go 242
13(9) DFS 230.

Unfortunately, I don't have any information regarding the markings or colors, but some of the modelers who frequent the Board might be able to help. The above comes from a BA-MA Freiburg document, so it should be correct.

HTH,

Larry
