5.1944 Zagreb to Kroatische Schnelle brigade in Dollersheim


 

24.05.1944 registered letter from Zagreb to "Kroatische schnelle brigade" located in Lager Dollersheim in Reich today in Austria. "Kroatische schnelle brigade" or in Croatian "Brzi Zdrug" or "Fast Brigade" in English  was formed on 01.04.1944 from 3 cavalry companies(konjanički sklop) and from 1st and 2nd bicycle battalion ( 1. i 2. koturaška bojna). On 21.12.1944  Brzi Zdrug was dismissed from Domobranstvo and become part of Ustaška vojnica. This Unit was to be equipped with motorised and armoured vehicles but this was only partially realised. 

I havent found any reference of Brzi Zdrug  training in Dollersheim with Kroatische Ausbildungs Brigade but this letter proves it. 

Correct postage 23kn was paid , 4kn letter+ 9kn registration + 10kn special delivery (Žurno)
