What is the word between Kompanie & Regiment?
Grenadier Rgt 12 (and Pz.Grenadier Rgt 12) weren't formed until 1942. I thought it might of been Panzer but there isn't a Panzer Rgt 12.
It's neither "Grenadier", nor "Panzer"; it says "Grenzw." (i.e. "Grenzwacht" or "Border Guard")
According to Lexikon der Wehrmacht (see Lexikon der Wehrmacht) Grenzwacht-Regiment 12 (AKA Grenzwacht-Abschnitt 12) was raised on 26 August 1939.
It consisted of 4 battalions with a total of 9 companies and was subordinate to Grenzschutz-Abschnitts-Kommando 2.
It was disbanded again in the autum of 1939.
I attached 2 more scans. He served for a very very short period of the war, falling, if I am not wrong September 10 at Mogilno...I would love to find out more about the unit he was in though...
Yes; he was killed in action on 10 September 1939 at Wylatowo. (see Wylatowo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
