Re: Unit indentification needed
LFWA could be Luftwaffe Feld Werft Abteilung = Luftwaffe Field Workshop Battalion and the "V" may be "verlegbar" which is mobile (but not as mobile as "mot." = "motorised").
Or I'm completely wrong …

Re: Unit indentification needed
Hi Nick,
not a bad idea. I think the V is the roman numeral for 5. Norbert

Re: Unit indentification needed
I think I can say for shure now that is indeed Luftwaffe Feldwerftabteilung.
Thanks for the help Nick, Norbert
