Kriegsmarine Rank..?

#1

Post by Panzercommander_Kleist » 02 Jun 2004, 01:31

I found an abbreviated rank while looking for information on Heinz Wilde, Enigma and Radioman on U-110 (One of them.), and I looked through a Kriegsmarine rank table, and didn't find a rank that could be abbreviated like this...

Wilde, Heinz |FkGfr | U-110. | pow.09.05.41 (from http://www.ubootwaffe.net/crews/crews.cgi . The rank table I looked on was at Feldgrau.com.)

Any Help is Appreciated!

Hello!

It is the abbreviation for "Funkgefreiter". The rank table on my page is more detailed. See the detailed rank page.

Thank you very much! After looking at the crew list more, I started figuring it was probably a radio operator's rank. I'll bookmark the chart. :D
