Re: unit

Just going by the abbreviations and the fact that an Fi 156 is involved, I'd guess Flieger Kurier Gruppe (assuming it is Ku. and not Kü.) whereas the VIII might refer to VIII. Fliegerkorps. But I stress that's only guesswork, I don't know if any such unit existed.

Re: unit

Perhaps a misspelling?
