Kev Hucks knows his way around these but if you dug it up then it must be correct, you just need to crack the abbreviation. Good Luck! Rich

Where roughly did you find it, does it fit with the area of operations from this unit (51 Mot)?

Cool, nice bit of family history from start to finish. Rich

Guys, as stated above. like his rail travel warrant 3rd class! Rich

http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/InfErsBat/InfErsBat51-R.htm 51 Motorized existed, struggling with the Signals link, perhaps it is IN or LN nota / backslash?

4 Company Nachrichten, Signals. ER, Ersatz, Replacement Bat, Battalion Mot, Motorised 51. So, 4th Signals Replacement Company, from 51st Motorized Battalion? Rich

Kev, I do but I am in UK now. Back home next week. Found him on wiki and yes he was in Dresden. I will post up his CVs that pretty well reflect the data on wiki when I get home. In Notts now going to Leighton Buzzard in the morning then back to Germany for Monday. Bis spaeter. Rich

Done a bit of research. Yes it conforms. Bit confused that many sites list the Company as JMME & SONNE or IMME. They are clearly the same maker IMME, as back then a capital I was written as J? Quite straight forward. It is still not as sharp as many I have viewed online, could be worn dies as the war progressed and I doubt Junker would sell their best strikes to a competing firm? Who knows? To be honest pilot badges have never interested me. Too many variables for my liking.

Your welcome, I will post the rest next week when back from UK. Rich

Last for the moment!

I am sorry the paper is clipped but it is in various sizes, bit before din A4? I will post the CVs later as they are on longer paper if that makes sense, I should get an A3 Scanner! Rich
