Re: Feldpost letter
Hi Mark, welcome to the forum!
The FP number will be for:
23163
(Mobilmachung-1.1.1940) 1. Kompanie Gebirgs-Träger-Bataillon 56,
(10.11.1944-Kriegsende) 6.3.1945 1. Kompanie Heeres-Gebirgsjäger-Bataillon Allgäu,
(10.11.1944-Kriegsende) 17.3.1945 gestrichen.
Sorry my time and German are too limited to help more. But at least you now know he was a Mountain Trooper.
Cheers, Ade.
