Suche nach Fernaufklärungseinheit
 

Hallo an Alle
Suche schon längere Zeit nach Spuren meines Vaters in einer Fernaufklärungseinheit. Ich war bis jetzt bei der 3./(F)33 auf Suche. Es hat sich mit größter Wahrscheinlichkeit herausgestellt, daß mein Vater erst frühestens ab 1942/43 dort war. Laut meiner Recherchen war mein Vater im
Februar 1941 (nicht nur ein paar tage) auf der Insel Jersey bei Fernaufklärer
Bodenpersonal Waffenwart. Habe datierte Foto von Juni 1941 Verschiffung
gleiche Truppe. Ende des Jahres Weihnachtskarte aus Libyen.
Bitte um Hilfe, welche Fernaufklärungseinheit ist in der Reihenfolge der Dislozierung im 1941 vor Ort gewesen. Könnte es die 123. oder in der Richtung sein? Wäre für jeden Hinweis sehr dankbar.
K. Dietrich

Haben Sie http://www.ww2.dk/ gelesen?

Sie sollen zuerst "Air units" clicken und dann "Reconnaissance units."

John...

Perhaps Klaus does not speak our language, or does so only to a limited extent. I'm sure we all would choose to communicate in a language we are familiar with, in Klaus's case, German. It is also his first posting on the forum, so can we cut him some slack, please?

I'm sure if you asked, someone (better than myself, as my German is very patchy) would be willing to oblige you with a translation.

Regards

I am not a german neither, but I'll give it a try.

Translation:
Hello all,
I am searching since a long time for traces from my father in a recon unit.
( I don't know what 3./(F)33 is, but he already searched for that ) It is quite certain that his father was there ( 3./(F)33 probably ) in 1942/1943 .

In his research he found that his father was on the Jersey isle in februar 1941 and not just for a few days. He was their with a recon unit. He has a dated picture of the shipping in june 1941.
And he has a christmas-card from the end of the year ( so around 25 december 1941 ) and it came from Libia.

His question is: which reconunit has been on those places in that order.
Could it have been the 123. or something in that direction?

Thanks for any hints

End translation

Gentlemen, thank you for your contributions. I certainly appreciate your efforts. I find it part of the pleasure of interacting on the forum to rise to a challenge, be it for information, pictures or trying a translation for someone, very likely to everyone's interest and benefit. The global village is well and truly established, so let's enjoy it's diversity.

Klaus...

Entschuldigen Sie... mein deutsche ist nicht so gut und ist leider sehr beschränkt, aber herzliche willkomen. Hofentlich Sie werden uns wie Freunde befinden... :)

Hals und Beinbruch...!

Hello to all! Are active since today in the forum and can no English. Therefore now with an on-line translation program. I hope that I am somewhat more understandable now few. Thus I equal moderator John Beame answered the friendly reference of super. Continue to apply my large thanks for the translations of nod and to Freggel and the greetings through obdl 3945. Property me very been pleased. Now to-ask. I am me meanwhile rather reliably after the narrations my father, who dated photos, more daer at least until 1942 with the 2. 123 was perhaps also somewhat longer. With wwk2 I already informed owing to the reference. I am anyhow strained whether I still more information from this long-range reconnaissance unit can get. Perhaps there is even still any lists of names or ähnkiches to 123. Hopefully I arrive now somewhat better with my English. Owing to and greeting to all Klaus

Dear Klaus,

Forgive me, but I'll have to answer in English.

First of all let me welcome you to our forum.

English may be the Lingua Franca of the Internet, it is not the official language of this forum. Certainly a forum which presents itself as an expert's medium on the subject of the GERMAN LUFTWAFFE must accept German as one possible language of communication. I may not be able to reply in German, but I certainly read it as easily as an english post.

Actually I'd personally prefer a well written german post than a bad internet translation!!!

To make a long story short (and in bad german to boot, but I'll try anyway):

Bitte schreiben Sie weiter ins Deutsche, wir können (oder sollten) es selbst übersetzen.

Ruy, Your German is better than my Dutch :D

It would be a pleasure for me, if I could help to translate the posts of Klaus.
As it concerned me too, I am familiar with the wish to get infos about the war time career of our fathers.

Für Klaus,
es wäre ein Vergnügen für mich, wenn ich bei Übersetzungen ins Englische helfen kann. Ich kenne den Wunsch, etwas über den Vater im Krieg herauszubekommen aus eigener Erfahrung.

Best wishes
Robert
