Nachrichtenkompanie Luftwaffe in Koblewo (west Otschakow/Ukraine) September 1941

Hi,

does anybody know which Nachrichten-Kompanie der Luftwaffe was at the 22.09.1941 in/near Koblewo (west of Otschakow, east of Odessa) ?

My grandfathers cousins writes in his diary on this day that :

"Thank god there is a Nachrichten-Kompanie der Luftwaffe here, which will buff my firepower with their 200 men significally"

(the russians had landed only a few km west of Koblewo in Grigoriewka to help out Odessa against the siege, so there was the possibility that the russian troops would swing east to Koblewo which he had to defend without infantery support)

Is there a way to identify the Luftwaffen Nachrichten-Kompanie he mentiones?

thanks and regards,
Alexander

No, because the Luftwaffen-Nachr.Kpn. were all numbered or (in rare cases) had a name.

I would guess the Kompanie was part of IV.Fliegerkorps - so most likely Luftnachrichten-Regiment 34 - but that is a guess...

are there NARA rolls available of Luftnachrichten-Regiment 34?

Good guess.
September-October 1941 all of Ln.-Rgt. 34 (Stab, I.-III., Flieger-Kp.) was in and around Nikolayev (Mykolaiv), but I have no information as to what villages and towns the individual Kpn. might have been in. To the best of my knowledge, there are no detailed documents on this Rgt. at BA-MA Freiburg or in NARA rolls for this time period.
