Re: Feldpost numbers
Mike from Canada, new here - from a letter to my mother from my father in Berlin 1945 - requesting assistance in identifying this unit of 6 panzers from 2.Rz.Ers.Abt.300 moved from Neurippen to Berlin, some 80 kms in 3 days. Now in Karlshorst guarding the stadtkommandanten. Date is march 5 1945 and feldpost is 67362A.
Earlier location Grafenwoer feldpost 64092B.
Eisenach feldpost number 2251.
Thank you.

(25.11.1944-8.5.1945) 27.2.1945 Stab u. Einheit Panzer-Vernichter-Abteilung 1. (The 'A' indicates that he was in the Stab)
64092
(25.11.1944-8.5.1945) 9.2.1945 Stab u. Einheit Panzer-Abteilung 303. ( The 'B' indicates 1 Kompanie)
There is no number of 2251 as FpNr's generally consist of 5 digits (or 6 in a small number of cases.)

Re: Feldpost numbers
Thank you Hucks - I was able to trace this feldpost on Lexicon der Wehrmacht, and also read unit account by Ron Klages on this site.
Now I am trying to research the final actions - it appears his 6 panzerschreck on borgward chassis were guading the stab in March.
I will try to find details of Berlin action and transition to street fighting on foot, old story that he was fighting a block or so away from the Fuherebunker.
Question - why do you think he was reassigned from Pz Abt 303 to Pz Vernichter Abt 1? Where and when did this unit first see action?

Re: Feldpost numbers
The best book to read about the fighting in Berlin is Bloody Streets by Stephan Hamilton, but unfortunately it is now becoming a very expensive book to buy.
As for the transfer, it could be any one of a number of reasons but I'd imagine that they needed people to equip the second unit and he was one of those 'chosen'.

Re: Feldpost numbers
There is some information about the Wanze Borgward B IV Ausführung mit Raketenpanzerbüchse 54 here...
http://anonymous-generaltopics.blogspot ... z-301.html
...which has one sentence for the Panzer-Vernichter-Abteilung 1...
There were 56 "Borgward B IV Ausführung mit Raketenpanzerbüchse 54" machines build in early 1945 from retired dynamite-carriers at drill ground at Grafenwahr. They were armed with six-rocket-gun at the left of the driver (there are seldom photos of them). There are also some seldom photos showing wrecks of the "Wanze" near the Brandenburger Tor. All B-IV Panzerjager were used by the Panzer-Vernichter-Abteilung 1 at the final fight in Berlin.

Re: Feldpost numbers
I have the book Funklenkpanzer by Marcus Jaugitz (ISBN: 0-921991-58-4 )and there is information in the book about Panzer Vernichter Abteilung 1 as it was formed from Funklenk units. It also has some photos of the unit in Berlin.

Re: Feldpost numbers
Yes I have heard this is THE book - I must get a copy as it is referred to extensively. I wonder if there are any survivor accounts of this unit published?

Re: Feldpost number 16507 or 16587...
Hi,
Hard to read, but I think the feldpost number in the soldbuch is 16507, or maybe 16587. Any info would be appreciated.
Best,
Tony

71300 doesn't exist. I don't think it is a FpNr.Astonia wrote:Could you help about feldpost 71300T HANS MEYER 42 (with number 3) on gasmask.
