Chest belonging to Hauptmann Limmroth
Hello Forum,
Someone gifted this interesting piece to me, its a Chest that has the name: Hauptmann Limmroth and the Feldpostnummer 32828 written on it.
On the inside there is further writing that says "Sontra-Hornel" Bez. Kassel, which is a district in Hesse, germany.
I´ve researched the Fpn. and found that it leads to Nachschub-Kompanie 251. (Created on the 1.1.1940) of the 251. Infanterie-Division, als called the hessian thuringian Division.
This divison served in France and also on the eastern Front, for example the Battel of Kursk, but it survived for the most time of the war, having only 3 different Division leaders in its existence till 1945.

The Inscription seems to fit the F.P.Nr., but i couldnt find anything on Hauptmann Limmroth himself, he is in no Fallen database i know, so he probably survived the war (The chest being fully intact in germany further leads to that).
If you have any ideas how i could find more about him and the story of this chest please tell me, all help would be greatly appreciated!
