Erkennungsmarke in Soldbuch

[steve sheridan]

Hi Marcel may I add, I've asked the very same myself previously.
Such a source would be an excellent research tool and aid as you say, in trying to investigate previous career paths.
Best regs,

Marcel/Steve,

Maybe in Jean Höidal: Deutsche Erkennungsmarken des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Eine Einführung für Interessenten und Sammler (= Uniform und Ausrüstung deutscher Streitkräfte. Band 8). Patzwall, Norderstedt 1999, ISBN 3-931533-40-9?

Hi Kaczmarek,

73172/110

Have you any idea to which unit this numbered ID tag refers too? I know that this airman did serve with KG30 but when killed was serving with Ku,Fl,Gr.106.

Hope you can help!

Thanks, Oh and sorry for butting in on this thread!

Regards

Melvin

Hi Melvin,

73172 = 3./Kampfgruppe 106, 6./Kampf-Geschwader 6

Hello Jaap,

Thank you for this interesting lead and perhaps some of our illustrious TOCH members will join a common effort to put a list together of known Erkennungsmarke Nummern ?

Hartelijke groet, Marcel

[John Manrho]

The Hoidal book lists all the numbers you will need.....

Höidal, Jean. Deutsche Erkennungsmarken - Von den Anfängen bis heute: Mit den geheimen Codierungen (MOB-Listen) der Luftwaffe.

Dear all,

Kaczmarek: thank you for your very kind offer but I really cannot expect you to check more than 460 Erkennungsmarkenummern

Jaap, John: thank you for the very reassuring hint to this publication of which I never heard before. Another book on the wish list...

Best regards, Marcel
