Witnesses: GFM Hueckel, Sauer, Hesse (Gruppe Feldwerft-Geraet Eschwege).

Can anyone tell me what GFM means and what the unit is?
Thanks,
If Hückel, Sauer and Hesse were assigned to Gruppe Feldwerft-Gerät in Eschwege, why not Gruppen Feldwerft-Mechaniker or Gruppen Flugzeug-Mechaniker.

Best wishes !
