Anti-Partisan Wehrpaß - help with unit

**butschekantiques** · 03-10-2013, 09:13 AM

Hello everyone,

I wonder if someone could help us with identifying that unit:
Aufst.Stab Lemlin

Since this soldier was involved in ant-Partisan combat, could it be something like "Aufständischen-Stab Lemlin". Would Lemlin be a city or a name?

Many thanks!
Klaus

I think this is in the wrong section.

Sorry! Can someone please move it to the right?

It's the abbreviation for Aufstellungsstab [= formation staff]; i.e. a preliminary staff engaged in the formation of a newly-raised unit.

Sorry, don't know about the Lemlin.

I dug around a bit more... I think it actually says "Semlin".

This was the German name for Zemun, now a city district of Belgrade. From 1941 to 1944, it was a part of the state of Croatia. Jäger-Regiment 749 - the Wehrpass holder's next listed unit - was raised in Croatia on 1 April 1943.

Thus, this would appear to be the formation staff for said regiment.
