Hi,
I am doing some research about FPN used by a German Propaganda unit at the Westfront 44-45.
Direct question:
I need to know more on FPN 00020 and FPN 00220. Any info is welcome. If possible WITH sources.
I am told that one of the FPN is from december 44 and the other from februari 45. But I do not entirely think this info to be correct.
The background for my question is that the Germans prepared a leaflet series for the own troops - it had a reply fpn mentioned on every leaflet. The allies forged this series and used (by mistake) another FPN on theirs.
The story is to long to tell here. Maybe I will do that later if I did some more research.

Re: FPN of Propaganda Units in the West
Hallo, Robert,
I`m writing a book about "Kempen 1933 - 1945". The Skorpion West was founded in Kempen in May 1944. I have collected some material about this unit and its activieties. If you like, I send you the paragrah of the book manuscript. My E-Mail: [email protected]
