The Feldpost number given in the ANA documents is:

L 20543
(Mobilmachung-1.1.1940) 5. Flughafen-Betriebs-Kompanie Kampf-Geschwader 77,
(10.2.1943-23.8.1943) 2. Flughafen-Betriebs-Kompanie Kampf-Geschwader 77,
(10.11.1944-Kriegsende) 16.3.1945 21. Flugzeug-Wartungskompanie.

So he was an aircraft mechanic. He must have been on loan to another unit at the time of capture because none of the components of KG 77 were anywhere near the Mediterranean theater during 1941. The Geschwader was busy bombing England to June 1941 and then operated in northern Russia to November-December 1941.
