WWII German Wehrmacht Wehrpass ID & Wehrmacht Führerschein – Obergefreiter Horst Hoffmann – Signal Intelligence – Nachrichten-Fernaufklärungskompanie 610 – Rare Unit!
Really interesting unit not often met, according to records this unit was only built up of 250 men! What they did: The Signal Intelligence Regiment (German: Kommandeur der Nachrichtenaufklärung, lit. ’Commander of intelligence’) (KONA) was the basic element of the field organisation of the German Army (Heer) signals intelligence organization (first called Inspectorate 7/VI, then LNA, and finally OKH/GdNA) during World War II. The KONA regiments were mobile communication reconnaissance units which were assigned to an army group and operated close to the front lines within the theatre of operations to intercept and build intelligence, via evaluation services (cryptanalysis) and disseminate the intelligence to senior staff locally and in the OKH/GdNA headquarters in the rear. To quote World War II cryptographic historian, Christos T “The KONA units did not have the ability to solve complicated Allied cryptosystems. Instead they focused on exploiting low/mid level ciphers and even in this capacity they were assisted by material sent to them by the central cryptanalytic department. This was the German Army High Command’s Inspectorate 7/VI”. He has an impressive battle calendar, clearly he was with Heeresgruppe Nor, he was awarded the Eastern Front Medal, and managed to get out from the Kurland Pocket early enough to make it back to Germany. Comes with his Wehrmacht Drivers Licence.

WWII German Wehrmacht Wehrpass ID – Gefreiter Paul Teuber – Artillerie Regiment “Grossdeutschland” – Nachrichten Abteilung 162 – Eastern Front Medal
Paul Teuber served with many units during the war. In 1942 he did a short stint of one month with Artillerie Regiment “Grossdeutschland” , ending the war with Nachrichten Abteilung 162. It seems that they were destroyed in late 1944 in Jassy, although I did not find any mention of Teuber in the KIA lists.
