Re: heers flak medal ( engraving ss) Help to find info on him?
P.S I know das reich was created for native Austrians serving in the Germany army. Would that help any in my search?

In this condition with the recent fix to the wreath, i would like to see better close ups of these engravings. At the moment I am not like it.

In person the fix doesn't look as "modern" than in these photos. I think it be easier to prove if the engraving is real or fake by seeing if this person was indeed in the Das Reich unit. I also think the key may be the Fpi Nr. and his name?

Not sure why a field post number would be scratched on the back unless he was in the habit of losing his badge?
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....

As Adrian has said above there is very little reason for there to be a unit engraving on a flak badge, for this reason i think that the engraving is post war added. Possible a person who believed adding unit marks to a badge would up the price a bit. And I believe if a soldier lost his bade or medal and still held the document or if the company/battalion held the document he was able to receive another for a cost.

Hi, I must have missed this thread first time around.
A couple of points to add. "Das Reich" was not created for Austrians. I think you are thinking of Regt. "Der Fuhrer".
Here is the info on the Feldpost number:
39858
(28.2.1941-29.7.1941) 3. Kompanie Fla-MG-Bataillon SS-Division Reich,
(1.3.1942-7.9.1942) 3. Kompanie Flak-Abteilung SS-Division Reich,
(8.9.1942-11.3.1943) 3. Batterie Flak-Abteilung SS-Division Reich,
dann 3. Batterie Flak-Abteilung SS-Panzergrenadier-Division Das Reich,
(12.3.1943-7.9.1943) 3. Batterie SS-Flak-Abteilung (Das Reich),
(8.9.1943-22.4.1944) 5.2.1944 3. Batterie Flak-Abteilung 2 (2. SS-Division),
(23.4.1944-24.11.1944) 24.6.1944 Flak-Batterie SS-Panzer-Kampfgruppe Das Reich,
2.10.1944 gestrichen.
Cheers, Ade.
