The abbreviation
 

In the document I found the name of the pilot in this form.

L.W. W.Ratt SS Fr.d.

Does anyone know what means an abbreviations Fr.d. ? L.W. is Luftwaffe of course. SS is as well clear, but what is it Fr.d?

Hello Peter


A possibility could be "Freiwilligen Division".

I'm afraid there's nothing fitting:

the spelling is correct?
and where does the document come from?

Re: The abbreviation
 

This is a Slovak postwar doccument, but undoubtedly writen according to German, or Slovak war doccuments. This pilot supported SS Schill unit in its attack against Slovak uprisers and was shot down.

Re: The abbreviation
 

I think that should it be so it would be written as Fr. D. Hi Peter, is it written in the document as Fr. d. or Fr. D.?

Re: The abbreviation
 

It is Fr.d. like I mentioned above.

Re: The abbreviation

or is there none?


thank you & best regards

Re: The abbreviation
 

Is it the original German document or re-written text somewhere in the newspapers?

Re: The abbreviation
 

It is from slovak postwar doccument.

Then I think it can be a typo and the correct abbreviation is Fr. D.
