Feldpost numbers

[Fishbone]

Hello to all.
This device was found on German positions 2WW in Latvia (Kurland). I think it is related to the German military mail. Maybe someone knows what it is and what these inscriptions mean? And as a badge with the name of Königsberg could be on the territory of Latvia? Thanks in advance to all who will respond. I am sure that asked for advice at the right place.

I don´t see a problem that a person with name Paulekuhn couldn´t have been in Latvia in WWII.

I have a postcard dated 9.4.40 Feldpost # 40424B. The stamp is dated exactly 1 year and 1 day after. Can anyone help me with what B means in the FPN?

The letter after the FpNr usually indicates a sub-component of the unit indicated by the FpNr, so for example if a (make believe) FpNr of 99999C was for Stab II u. 4.-8 Kompanie Infanterie Rgt X then the C would indicate the 5 Kompanie.

I don't understand. How does the C translate to 5 Kompanie?

In my example it would run thus....
A = Stab (in this case the Stab of the II Bataillon)
B = 4 Kompanie
C = 5 Kompanie
D = 6 Kompanie
E = 7 Kompanie
F = 8 Konpanie

I need help identifying or confirming the units with the following Feldpost numbers:

1) Nr. 02342 - indicated as a naval artillery unit, possibly MKB Hamburg, attached to MAA 260.

2) Nr. 05925 - possibly a company of 320. ID

Thank you very much, Christoph.
What is curious is that Fp Nr. 05925 appears in a German document dated June 9, 1942 and written in Cherbourg by the Kreisskommandant.
Could the Feldpost Nr have been reassigned to another unit by then?

Other possibility: according to Lexikon-der-Wehrmacht, IR 322 was relieved ("abgelöst") on the Russian front in June 1942. Could one of the IR 322's units have been transferred to the Cherbourg area for refit and was reassigned Fp. Nr. 05925?

Thank you very much Christoph.

I have another Fp Nr. also for a unit in the Cherbourg peninsula (possibly from 83. ID), this time in April 1941:
Fp Nr. 16435B
