Hello Jan,

As far as I can see the rank is written as O. feld. W. So I think his rank was Oberfeldwebel. Maybe you already found the following information but according to the feldpostnumber list number 44483 was attributed to:

(30.7.1941-28.2.1942) Schneeraumtrupp 28, u. gestrichen
(8.9.1942-11.3.1943) Heeres-Verpflegungs-Dienststelle 691
(23.4.1944-24.11.1944) 14.10.1944 gestrichen

As far I can read the stamp on the letter, the letter is dated 07.4.43. This date is not listed on the feldpostnumber overview.

Hi Jan.


Name -

I would say his surname is Holzschuh and the Feldpost is addressed to Herrn and Frau + Bruno at Berlin Charlottenburg Haeselerstraße 10

Rank -

His rank looks like an abbreviation for Obersoldat or Oberfeldwebel.

Unit -

44483
(30.7.1941-28.2.1942) Schneeraumtrupp 28, u. gestrichen
(8.9.1942-11.3.1943) Heeres-Verpflegungs-Dienststelle 691
(23.4.1944-24.11.1944) 14.10.1944 gestrichen.
Feldpost numbers: 44000-44999
