Sportausweis - Bann L/Ost
- Thread starter UTH1308
- Start date
Nice and a good example of how the unit numbers sometimes changed over time.
In 1940 new Stammbereiche were introduced for Bann L which divided the Bann area into the quadrants North South East and West. These were identified as follows with each having a commanding officer:
Bann L/N or Bann L/Nord
Bann L/S or Bann L/Süd
Bann L/O or Bann L/Ost
Bann L/W or Bann L/West
As part of this change Gefolgschaft 61/L Bürgerbräukeller was redesignated as Gefolgschaft L/11 (Ost) Bürgerbräukeller and by 1941, as shown on your document, this same location had the unit number 161/L.
