Front-Rep.Betr. GL 3256 (Jumo)

Hello

Front-Rep.Betr. GL 3256 (Jumo) What does it mean? This unit was in France in spring 1944.

Best regards

I'd say the first bit is "Front-Reparatur [und] Betriebs..." So, Front Repair [and] Servicing" Something (company, platoon or whatever).

Taken together, it looks like a team of people who repaired and serviced Junkers engines at front-line units.

Betr. is just Betrieb or workshop/factory.
Somit´smonly Front-Reparatur Betrieb (front repair workshop/factory)
Sometimes they are written as FRB or FRW (W = Werk/factory)

Regards

Dirk
