B.A.O.R. Numbers
Are there any of our more "experienced" members out there who remember anything about the old B.A.O.R. numbers (not the B.F.P.O. numbers from the mid-fifties)?. These have been found so far, but are open to correction.
1. Bad Oeynhausen
2. Berlin?
3. Hamburg
4. Dusseldorf (Duisburg is also mentioned)
9. Wuppertal
10. Osnabruck
11. Braunschweig
12. Munster
13. Schleswig?
14. Dortmund
15. Herford/Bielefeld/Sennelager (found all 3 mentioned, but Herford was the majority)
19. Wahnerheide?
21. Frankfurt-am-Main?
22. Lubeck?
23. Celle (same as its BFPO number)
24. Iserlohn (ditto, although another reference gives Krefeld?)
25. Wilhelmshaven? (Oldenburg and Jever are also mentioned)
26. Hildesheim
29. Minden
30. Have not found a location yet, but 4/7/DG were there in 1953 apparently.
33. Goslar
34. This is a strange one. I found a reference to BAOR 34 naming a place called Bedburg-Hau near Kleve. This is about 25km ESE of Nijmegen and about 45km SE of Arnhem.
35. This one is not strictly BAOR I suppose, it is Eindhoven
39. Gutersloh
Paul.
