Rechlin - Aircraft Crash 1943: 2 Questions

[hucks216]

Thanks to Larry de Zeng who has provided me with some great information, including that Oberfeldwebel Alfred Noetzel, Technisches Bataillon Rechlin, worked in Amt E4 (Navigations-und Funkgerät) at Rechlin. He installed and tested airborne electronic navigation and radio equipment. Technical personnel from Amt E4 were back and forth all the time between Rechlin and 15./KG 6 and later KG 66.

In relation to this wehrpass does anyone have any idea what unit 3.L.P.F Tilsit is (as seen on the attached scan)? It is an entry dated for 1934/35 and he was there for 6 months.

Is there anything said about his tour in Stalingrad, if for transport proved that at the time they need every man even those with the greatest experience in other fields, if for nav. purpose quite new news

I haven't been able to find anything out so far. The listings in his campaign pages only go up to June 1941 so that is a dead end with regards to Stalingrad. Maybe he was one of those not used?

I have been have to find out what 3.L.P.F is, except that it isn't L.P.F but L.P.H = Landespolizei Hundertschaft.
