Re: Flak Unit ID's

OK, So a particular Unit is only a "Staff" entity and the individual batteries were never (permanently attached to a regiment?
IE:
Stab/Flak-Regiment 45 (mot.): (which appears to be a motorized Unit)
did NOT have a section of heavy/light/self-propelled AAA unit(s)?
The individual batteries got moved around to where-ever in Europe/Africa/Russia they were needed?
Sounds complicated to me. How did they ever get their mail?

Let's see if I get this right:
Stab/Flak-Regiment 45 (mot.)
1.1.44 in Bordeaux under 11. Flak-Division (12. Flak-Brigade), with s.347 (v), le.144 (v), le.923 (v), gem.196 (v), gem.261 (v) and s.473 (E)
I believe the above line is saying that:
Headquarters Flak Regiment 45 was in the area around Bordeau on 1st Jan 1944 under the command of the 11th Flak-Division/12th Flak Brigade, and had 5 different Flak Batteries (or other units) attached to it.
Now, how can I find out what the 5 units are/were equipped with?
What does "s.347(v)" mean? [s = heavy, le = light, gem = Supply/ammo]? (v) = ?
Are these actual Flak units or are some searchlight/supply/ammo units?


Thanks, Jay W
