I have a Soldbuch to a member of LW Flak units (namely Flak.Rgt 36 and Flakschw.Abt 399 (which I believe was located near Darmstadt)). On 9th April 1944 to 5th August 1944 he went from Flakschw.Abt 399 and served in 'Aktion Bayreuth'. As well as the Flak Badge he also wore the Fernsprecher trade badge so could of been used in that capacity.
Would anyone be able to shed any light on what 'Aktion Bayreuth' was? I originally thought that it could be linked to a relocation of units in order to protect the Bayreuth Festival but after posting a question on AHF someone mentioned that there was a KZ-Außenlager (of Flossenbürg) set up near Bayreuth at around this time. Can anyone confirm that there is such a link between 'Aktion Bayreuth' and the KZ, or is it indeed related to the festival?
