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?

Re: The abbreviation
Hello Peter


A possibility could be "Freiwilligen Division".

I'm afraid there's nothing fitting:

https://www.degruyter.com/downloadpd...951677.247.pdf (pdf in german)

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


best regards

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.

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.?

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

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