Mr. Saris were there units also 2/82 Hozhaus/ Rudenburg... 5/82 Guldendorf and K3/82 Reitz.. or you using the "Honor Names" ?.. I was able to find an early publication on "Erhen Namem" but the dealer will not respond...G

2/82 and 5/82 are mentioned in my list (earlier post), but remind it is
always possible the units were re-located and this was not noted in the
RAD Verordnungsblatt.
The names mentioned are all honor-names. There were most often
announced in the Verordnungsblatt.

If I do find my other lists I will check for more information. I did find
the list. I added more information to post 10. Please consult!

Thank you Mr. Saris for this great information - very much appreciated

For those unknown with the abbreviation K.
This means Kriegsbesetzung (wartime duty).
Often it is explained and identified as "Kirenes",
which is Norway and "Karelien", which is Finland.
This is NOT correct!

"Honor Names" ?.. early publication on "Ehrennamen"...G

There are various booklets with historical information about units with honor-names,
but the "bulk" of names is to be found in the RAD Verordnungsblatt. Pitily
when such name is mentioned, they do not mention the location, but the day of
granting or issueing! I do have hundreds of such names listed.

I once started with a list of all known unit-numbers, but I do not have the time to
add the additional information I have and so finish the list. None of the known and
available lists is complete, as they mention just bits and pieces. There must exist a
full official list from the RAD High Command, but I have never seen it, not heard about
its existance in the known German archives!

Thanks Mr. Saris... Gwar....

Mr. Saris sounds so formal. I prefer either Wilhelm or Wim. Okay?
