Thanks Nick. I believe that's probably just a geographical coincidence. My principal interest in this unit is because Oblt. Hans Fuisting's personnel file has him transferring to this unit in July 1944 upon the dissolution of 3./Bflgrp 196. During this entire period he was seconded to Flettner as a test pilot and the A.D.I.(K) report I've referenced seems to confirm that this was effectively a 'home unit' for Luftwafe pilots attached to industry but this report and Fuisting's appraisal from September 1944 is all I've ever seen on this unit. It was a sizeable unit from the look of things and I was hoping someone else in their researches might have stumbled upon an additional piece of illumination.
