Flak-Transport-Batterie Units - What were they responsible for?

[hucks216]

Good afternoon all. I am wondering if anyone could help with information regards to Luftwaffe Flak-Transport-Batterie units. Namely, what were their responsibilities? Were they, as the name suggests, responsible for moving flak guns from a to b in which case how far back from the positions were they expected to be or were they responsible for the supply duties for flak units within an area?
I assume that they were to be found where ever flak guns were positioned and if so were their duties different if stationed in an area of static guns such as a German city compared to any that were stationed behind a front line in Russia, Italy etc?
I have tried to find mention of such things but there seems to be very little out there.

It was a unit responsible for moving flak units. A lot of flak units did not have their own transport (Ortsfest - stationary) and needed help from a Transport Batterie. A Flak Transport Batterie could also move supplies.
