Hello,

This is my first post on this forum. I was searching the internet for links to anything affiliated with Fieseler. I have been in search of documents and photos.

I am particularly interested in finding a photo of Fieseler Werkschutz personnel. The reason being is that I have a very rare Fieseler Werkschutz Guard's Luger , badge and holster. I have been searching for anything related to this piece. I also found a 2 page job or work order written by an employee at the Kassel facility regarding a strut repair on a Fieseler aircraft in 1938.

This Luger has been verified by surviving Fieseler employees in Germany through a Fieseler collector in Michigan, to be legitimate and correct. I believe that it was possibly captured by a GI when U.S. troops captured the Kassel facility.

I have found that Kassel was liberated/captured by the 3rd Army, 12th Army Group with the 317th Infantry Regt. playing a major role. Their Regimental history states that they captured an "Aircraft Factory" shortly before capturing the city of Kassel.


Thanks...
