Adrian Stevenson:
Some of 365, as well as 360 though 363 are alo known to me and also 2/366 existed at Radkersburg (Febrary 1939)!

It would be great to get a list of the other RAD Abt. I'm currently working on a complete Südmark (XXXVI) list of RAD fpr a local history paper, so 360 till 365 (even 366 : Feldbach) would be great.
