DuWhat · 06-06-2013, 12:42 PM

Been a member for several years but I tend to read and learn instead of post as you guys knowledge is so much more than mine. Not i'm stumped. I recently purchased from a granddaughter of a deseased WWII vetran a Luftwaffe belt and buckel that he brought back. Standard flying eagle buckel with appears to be a 'brown' belt and i'm wondering if it belonged to a member of a Flak unit. Reason i'm asking is it is marked in two places on the back of belt "5/s.Flakl.Rgt.II".
I assume this is 5th Unit of Flak Regiment II???? Also if that is correct any ideal of where the unit was based? Any help with the id of this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Robert
