Yes, as with 442 and 673, 496 was also under Flak-Rgt. 59 (Paris) during April and May 1944, so some of its batteries were assigned to airfield defense.
Unlike the Flak units in the Reich, the Flak in the occupied countries moved around with great frequency and that, along with the massive destruction of Luftwaffe records, makes it difficult to determine where an Abteilung or a Batterie was on a particular day.
