Heer Wehrpass – Uffz Hartweg – Feste Nach Aufkl Stelle 12 – Communications Intelligence – ‘Coder’ (Sold)

Heer Wehrpass for Funker Hartweg. 

He served mainly in Intelligence Communications. 

There is very little information online about these units, given the nature of their activities. 

Although the following information is from a book called: Codeword Overlord: Axis Espionage and the D-Day Landings: By Nigel West

That one of his units were based in France in Saint Germain en Laye, then later in Euskirchen. They consisted of around 120 personell and were listing to all radio communications. 

Interestingly, Hartweg was listed as Schüssler also known as a Coder, used to code messages this could incorporate the Enigma also!

He was also trained as a radio man in a recon unit. 

He has a quite impressive battle list.

The units would require further research.
