Re: Lft.Kdo.6 - 3 Mai 45 - What do you read?

I'm not sure that it's "zuletzt" or "geplatzt" because in the handwriting of the time a "z" usually descends below the line. Also, look at the descending "s" in "Restteile KG 51" in the line above.

On the other hand, you do have several typed "zuletzt" in other parts of the document, so it would be consistent.

I did wonder (I certainly wouldn't swear to it!) if the word could be "gestartet" in which case the note is telling that the units in question are en route to Erding and the Bavarian Forest.

Otherwise, it's back to the dictionary for alternatives
