Luftwaffe Ashtray
Could anyone help with the following which is engraved on the bottom of an ashtray 'LN.RGT.212 ' followed by 'Kriegsweihnachten 1942'. There are also some signatures, any info. on this unit at Christmas 1942 would be a great help,
Regards Brian |

Re: Luftwaffe Ashtray
It seems to be "Luftnachrichten Regiment 212", but this unit was formed according to Michael Holm´s web site on May 20th 1943.

Jagd-Division im nordwestdeutsch-dänischen Raum gliederten sich damals wie folgt (Nafü 2. JD Obstlt. Dr. Ahrens): Ln-Rgt. 212 in Schleswig Kdr. Obstlt. Dr. Weisensee I/212 (1.- 6. Kp.) in Schleswig II/212 (7. - 12. Kp.) in Schleswig III/212 (13. - 18. Kp.) in Kolund/Dänemark IV/212 (19.-24. Kp.) in Neumünster 25. (techn.) Kompanie bregds SES |
