2.1943 SS.feldpost from 'Fürsorge SS-Führer Kroatien'



 05.02.1943 SS-feldpost  letter to Graz in  Steiermark (today Austria) from Fp. 03161 - Fürsorge SS-Führer Kroatien, SS-Poststelle Esseg und Ersatz-Kommando Südost der Waffen-SS Nebenstelle Esseg. After Fp.number there is no additional letter hence this number was used by the first unit listed "Fürsorge SS-Führer Kroatien". Fürsorge means welfare in English, but what was exact units duty I'm not sure.
