The Feldpost number relates to -
Unit Name: RAD-Meldeamt 54 (Reich Labour Service Reaistration Office 54 • Location: Dortmund (Arbeitsgau XX - Westfalen-Süd).
A RAD-Meldeamt was a regional
administrative headquarters responsible for the induction, tracking, and processing of personnel into the Reich Labour Service within a specific military district. While Thilo writes his postcard from a specific camp location (Gundorf), his official administrative military mail routing was tied back to this central office in Dortmund.
Interesting postcard.
