Feldpost numbers
Re: Feldpost numbers
That's great, thank you. Where were you able to find the listing? Could there have been multiple groups/units at this single feldpost, besides Einsatzkommando 14, perhaps until the end of the war?
Thanks a bunch!

Re: Feldpost numbers
Hi,
I recently obtained two interesting 1942 Feldpost letters. They both have the following unusual marking in blue and the feldpost cancel
Dienststelle Feldpost No 03715
They were both used in German occupied Ukraine from an officer (photos of him in his officers uniform were with one of the letters) to his daughter/wife? Elizabeth in Berlin. These went by airmail and were sent 1-2-42 and 21-6-42 from Alexanderstadt and from Luboml to the same address in Berlin. The officer was named Dietz (Just possibly Major General Dietz - Baron Von Thungen the close friend of Stauffenburg from Bamberg?? since he was in the Ukraine in 1942 and his Daughter was named Elizabeth and living in Berlin). I guess that the letters must have been from someone with important rank or they would not have been allowed as obviously personal mail to travel via airmail feldpost and with the offical markings!
Stangely both letters are stamped (not needed for official feldpost) and care was taken to cancel them tying them to the letters. No idea why he bothered to put the stamps on them perhaps since it represented a wrong use of the feldpost to send his personal mail (via airmail) to his family in Berlin he thought it only right to put the normal postal rate on them?
Both letters did get to Berlin via the feldpost so they do seem genuine postal items if perhaps philatellic inspired (hence the stamps) although it would be interesting to see if the unit went from the two Ukranian locations in 1942 and so could be him informing his daughter about his current location.
Does anyone know anything about this Feldpost Number 03715 (the first 0 looks like it has a diagonal line through it) or what the Dienststelle in the Ukraine was?

Re: Feldpost numbers
I see nothing for the period concerned with the two letters (Jan-June 1942).
Re: Feldpost numbers
For that period the entry would be for Transport-Kommandantur West - Paris. The dates at the beginning of the entries are the approx start dates for when the FpNr was used by the relevant units, not the start and end dates.BrianH wrote:I see nothing for the period concerned with the two letters (Jan-June 1942).
Re: Feldpost numbers
This is weird since I see no indication that these letters are fakes - they came with a set of ordinary mail and memrobillia from the same person going back to the first world war (some even have the same handwriting). So how could a transport unit from the West of Paris (1941) be in the Ukraine in 1942? Photos obtained with the letter do appear to be of soldiers and officers of a transport unit (alongside and driving trucks) but they are clearly in Russia not France (a cyrillic signpost).
Were transport units stationed in France sent in 1942 to the eastern front and if so would they take their fieldpost number with them? I have been told the Dienststelle in the Ukraine was involved with the transport of prisoners for slave labour so perhaps this was not a fighting unit but one transporting prisoners.
Any ideas?

Here it is
Re: Feldpost numbers
It's definitely not listed. The database, while extensive, still has loads of missing numbers that will probably never be found and identified and most of those gaps seem to be in the upper bracket of numbers.
In the '82XXX' range the numbers around yours run - 82325, 82354, 82363,82383, 82414 and so on.

Re: Feldpost numbers
I also had doubts about the first cypher , I now see it's indeed a '3' although it has not the same shape as the other '3' , most interesting about the Kommando , thanks both
