    Default Wehrpass units and service help

    Hello everyone,

    Just a quick couple of questions about the units and service in a Wehrpass. The Wehrpass belonged to a member of the Luftwaffe, who served with the condor legion during the Spanish Civil War.

    Service history.

    1. 1/4/1933 - 30/9/1933 - 9./a.R.6
    2. 1/10/1933 - 30/9/1934 - 2./F.6
    3. 1/10/1934 - 30/9/1935 - 1./ F. W
    4. 1/10/1935 - 7/11/1936 - 3./ Flak.Regt.13
    5. 8/11/36 - 4/8/37 - R. L. M sonderstab w.
    6. 5/8/1937 - 1/10/1837 - 2./ Flak.Regt.13
    7. 1/10/1937 - 31/7/1938 - 1./ Flak.Regt.13
    8. 1/8/1938 - 24/8/1939 - Stabs Batterie Festungs Flak abtlg 31
    9. 25/8/1939 - 14/10/1939 - W. Fest.Flak rgt. 31, Traben Trarbach
    10. 15/10/1939 - 17/2/1940 - 6. Batterie Res.Fest.Flakabt.311
    11. 18/2/1940 - 14/3/1940 - 2. Res.Fest.Flakabt.322
    12. 15/3/1940 - 17/12/1940 - Nachsch. Stelle f. Bebe.2 Aun. Saarbrcken.
    13. 18/12/1940 - 20/1/1941 - Flak-Rgt.138
    14. 21/1/1941 - 16/6/1944 - Flg.H.Kdtr Metz-Frescaty
    15. 17/6/1944 - 30/6/1944 - Stab-Flak.Rgt.49
    16. 1/7/1944 - 14/9/1944 - 1./ Lei.Flakabt.973 (o)
    17. 15/9/1944 - Luftgaukommando XII/XIII

    I’m pretty confident with the translation apart from these units below

    Number 8) 1/8/1938 - 24/8/1939 - Stabs Batterie Festungs Flak abtlg 31
    Number 9) 25/8/1939 - 14/10/1939 - W. Fest.Flak rgt. 31, Traben Trarbach
    Number 11) 18/2/1940 - 14/3/1940 - 2. Res.Fest.Flakabt.322
    Number 12) 15/3/1940 - 17/12/1940 - Nachsch. Stelle f. Bebe.2 Aun. Saarbrucken.

    My second question is - his last award and promotion were,

    1/5 1940 - Deutschen Schutzwall Ehrenzeichen (West wall medal)
    1/1/1941 - Oberwachtmeister

    My understanding is that this is because of his trade or speciality, eg he was a member of various regiment staffs and not a ‘frontline’ soldier.

    Any help, guidance or input is greatly appreciated,

    Kind regards,

    Will

    I’ve had some help with the entries from a few people (really appreciate it).

    Here are the corrected entries-

    9. 25/8/1939 - 14/10/1939 - Stb. (Stab) Fest.Flak Rgt. 31, Traben Trarbach

    12. 15/3/1940 - 17/12/1940 - Nachsch. Stelle f. Bekl. & Ausr. Saarbrücken
    (Nachschubstelle für Bekleidung und Ausrüstung, located at Saarbrücken)


    There are some entries in the Wehrpass (I’ve added a photo) and one of them says - Lehrgang für Bekleidung

    - Bekleidung meaning (clothing/textile).


    Can anyone tell me what his profession in the Luftwaffe was, could he have been a quarter master?
