Re: Heimatflak units in Koblenz

One last thought, Shane. Of the 28 Heimat-Flakbatterien in the Luftgau VI area that I mentioned, I am guessing that number is probably less than half of the total number that existed with Luftgau VI numbering. I have only identified 11 leichte Heimat-Flakbatterien with the -/VI numbering and the last of these that I have is 61/VI. If the numbering was sequential with no gaps, then there may have been 50 more of them.

The same is true for the schwere Heimat-Flakbatterien with the -/VI numbering. I have 17 of these with the last numbered 240/VI. The schwere series always begins with 201/VI, so there may have been at least 23 more of them.

So, there are a lot of gaps.

Another fact is that Heimat-Flakbatterien rarely left the Luftgau in which they were formed. They were moved around within the Luftgau as needed, but not out of the Luftgau.

Now you know everything I know!

I hope you find the one you are looking for. WASt Berlin is your best bet.
