Is there any additional information that could be an identifier like the background of the item or just a signature? I made some preliminary searches with the name and could not find anything. If he was associated with the Luftwaffe, there is no mention of such a person on deZeng’s lists. Otherwise I found a reference to an Oberinspektor Kempel that was at a flakturm in Hamburg in the final months of the war.
It's the only info I have about him. The item is a pair of officer white gloves named to him
Unfortunately I think this is an instance where its origin is lost to history, and virtually the original owner as well. There just is not enough information without a unit even. Wulf Gasda was not a name we knew about until very late in this discussion and discovered through one singular source. I checked deZeng’s research again and nothing there so he could have been in a Heer artillerie unit, or he was in the Luftwaffe and no information has been found. I figure he could have been a veteran of the Great War. I checked Ancestry and found some Great War sources to men with the surname but nothing from WW2, which I mostly expected. This would have been difficult to align such information to someone reinlisted in WW2 without them having done something outstanding or receiving a high-profile award.
I also tried searching of multiple combinations of keywords using the printed information on the gloves to no avail. It only will bring up sites about someone or another with the surname in the Great War. WW2 sources only brought up the Oberinspektor and a couple Jagdgeschwader pilots with the name.
Don't worry. Thank you a lot for helping me in this thread and again don't worry for Kempel!
Fp 51463 Führer-Flak-Regiment from what I have read I think that from 9th to 14th Battery , are also members of Flak-abt./IV GG/HG. They also fought in Italy.
You can find more names from the vermistenbildliste , just google it.
Search the above fp. Starts at 10th batterie but you can go back an forth, it will also give you other Fp to work with.
Im interested because of a helmet I own.
Odd no regiment number. Wolfgang.Flak.Abt./IV
Found this grouping named to Ferdinand Zöllig who served in the Flakbatterie. We see he was awarded the Sudetenland Medal in August 1939 while serving in the Regiment General Göring. He was wounded in September 1939 while with the Flakbatterie. This would have been when the Führersonderzeug was in Poland. The document noting his wounding is signed by the Kommandant of the Führerhauptquartiere at the time, Erwin Rommel. Later in the war he is with the Regiment Hermann Göring. It appears that the Flakbatterie may have been strengthened by men of the General Göring, and then it shows that the unit was morphed into the Hermann Göring.
Not morphed into, attached to Hermann göring as flak.abt.IV , left italy in october 44. Then to Führer-begleit-brigade in the ardennes then became part of Führer-begleit-division.

A portrait photo of a flieger in the HG wearing a ‘Führerhauptquartier’ cuff. Likely part of the flak regiment during that time.
