Soldiers of Flak-Regiment 3 enjoying hot meal in winter. Lots of great stuff on display here: double decal helmets, tabs on mantels, and good shots of field equipment and trucks. If you look closely, there is an enlisted man on the left appears to have no gulls on his mantel. This is occasionally seen for one reason or another on enlisted men. The regiment itself were formed on 1 October 1936 in Weimar. Renamed on 15 June 1939 to Staff of Flak Regiment 11. Repositioned in Weimar in December 1939, the staff was relocated to Stettin in 1941 and was there under Luftgau III. The staff here reformed to became Flakgruppe Stettin. In 1945 the staff was used with the subordinate units in the ground combat near Pölitz near Stettin as part of the 6. Flak-Brigade.
