I have found Fu. (as a rank) in the NZ,Pz.Jg.Abt.5. (I believe it's actually the 5th SS Panzerjager Abteilung). I have no idea what NZ is ... I thought it might be an abbreviation for Nachrichtenzug, but usually, in this document, uppercase letters are being used to abbreviate functions as in „Communications officer“ or the like.
So, the questions are:
What does Fu. stand for?
What does NZ stand for?
Thank you very much! You guys are a treasure for anyone who does independent research on World War 2.

I only know NZ as Nachrichtenzug, signal. Fu usually refers to "Funk", radio comm, such as FuMB. Perhaps you meant Fü. (Führungsabteilung)?So, the questions are:
What does Fu. stand for?
What does NZ stand for?

Hi,
Fu. as a rank should be Funker.
