Tabstabs1964, your photos are always interesting and a great source of knowledge for those of us who have narrow specialities and aren't always aware of the broader history of the second WW period. Thanks for showing.

TABSTABS1964, I was asking around a few groups I frequent about this pic, it seemed to me, to be an unknown Honor Name for 6/160 'Otto Weddigen' although it is not recorded in the Verordnungsblatt I feel there is something there, just a gut feeling, as I was asking, I also mentioned the few pics I had commented on and found out some distressing revelations, apparently our database had a few mistakes caused by a few lines in a XLSX Spreadsheet that weren't aligned with the right Arbeitsdienstlager, Wim Saris has explained to me this in an Email;

6/160 is stated in a handbook from 1938 as Diebrock/Herford in Westfalen and first mentioned
in October 1937. I have not yet checked this number after 1938.
The listed honor-name in the Verordnungsblatt is "Friedrich Homann" (03-1941). There were no
other names mentioned in the Verordnungsblatt for this number or location.

This is the information, which I have as stated:
Otto Weddigen was mentioned at 5/313 Lagergruppe Preussen, Gross-Ringe über Neuenhaus
Kr. Grafschaft Bentheim - "Otto Weddigen" *(12-1936) and also (03-1941). There were no other
units in 1941 having this name.
2/152 Bischofswerda > Schreiersgrün (38) >"Scharnhorst" (03-1941)
5/290 Weiden-Hammerweg I (38) > "General Scharnhorst" (03-1941)

7/314 Lagergruppe Sachsen, Georgsdorf Kr. Graftschaft Bentheim "Max von Hausen" *(12-1936) (03-1941)
I apologize for any problem this may have caused... Another member states that he thought he saw this piece in a thread on WAF from eight years ago or so, I have not looked to verify.. Just something about it seems right to me..
