| Matthew,
I am sure my neighbour served with this unit, along with other duties at Hannover, which included recovering dead tanks littering the countryside from WW2.
He was also at Hameln, when many war criminals were brought there, to the prison, to be hanged for their war crimes by Albert Pierrepoint.
Sadly my friend died about a year ago. | |

Welcome, members of this site always enjoy responding to the type of interesting challenge you have posed
It may be possible to identify other locations your grandfather may have served in prior to the Hameln move from his Record of Service. | |
