Unit: Luftgau-Nachrichten-Regiment 11-(334)

[Goss]

My uncle was in this unit from 1940-43 and I was trying to get as much information on it as possible. Locations where they operated and possibly what his occupation was within the unit. Anyone have any suggestions where I could obtain some information.

Thank you

Hello,
Sorry to say but i have never heard of this Luftwaffe unit before and there's nothing about it in Lexikon der Wehrmacht...

Lexikon der Wehrmacht

I hope someone else can help you out...
Thanks

It has to be Luftgau-Nachrichten-Regiment 11; the -"334" suffix after the regiment's number makes no sense.

Luftgau-Nachrichten Regiment 11 was the air force signals regiment subordinate to Luftgau XI (Hannover).

It's absolutely impossible to tell you anything about your uncle's occupation within the regiment without knowing anything about him.

Hello,
The number 334 does make sense if the infos about the unit come from the Erkennungsmarke.
In this case 334 is the number identifying the soldier within Luftgau-Nachrichten Regiment 11, but i guess you already know that....
Thanks

Thank you gentlemen. In his Wherpass, it has indicated, "1/4/43-12/5/42 Sicherung Griechenlands (protection of Greece). I've looked, but haven't been able to identify anything about that Regiment in Greece. Any ideas?

This is the only thing I have been able to find out about the Luftgau-Nachrichten troops in Greece :-

I can tell you that several entries indicate he was attached to a unit that did (Tel. Bau) Telegraph line construction and (Fspr. Bau) telephone line construction. Most of the active service was with (mot.) Motorized Regiments. This indicates the construction work was most likely Schweres (Heavy) involving the erection of poles and the use of heavy transport for cables and equipment. NH

Thank you gentlemen. I really appreciate the time you took for me.
