Re: ME262 - Mechanic on RAF Base
I notice the Urlaubschein und Marschbefehl is for Dienstgruppen....
Dienstgruppen (German Service Groups) were disarmed Wehrmacht personnel and employed under the control of the Allied Authorities for the purpose of repair of war damage, for example, the collection, storage and destruction of war material for demining of former war zones, the areas of inventory, etc. etc. They consisted in November 1945 of 110,000 soldiers, 45,000 Marines (mine clearing service) and 25,000 airmen. A few months later, mid-1947, all the prisoners were released and the membership of the Arbeits and Dienstgruppen was declared as voluntary. /Ian |

Re: ME262 - Mechanic on RAF Base
Do you have his Soldbuch? Often a D.C.U. 5 is attached for Dienstgruppenpersonal ...... here is a Navy version.
H'mmmm I can't see how to add an image... only an URL.... thought it was simply "attach image" but can't see it anywhere.... Has image attachment been disabled and only a link (URL) can now be used? /Ian |

Thought there would be something but I looked for a sticky under the discussion group rather than general.... I did log in last night to reply to a message, 5 minutes later couldn't get logged back in as the site was down. Hope you are well? /Ian |
