Bonjour,


2. Krankenkraftwagen-zug der 338. Infanterie-Division
2nd Ambulance Platoon of 338th Infantry-Division


3. Kompanie / Einsatz-Flieger-Regiment 63
Stab I / Einsatz-Flieger-Regiment 63
I think the word 'einsatz' doesn't fit this unit. Isn't it supposed to be 'ersatz'?
The following is from http://www.ww2.dk:
Formed 1.4.39 in Eger from Flieger-Ersatz-Abteilung 63. In 1942 renamed Flieger-Regiment 63 and moved to France. In November 1942 saw action in Southern France (Marseille, Nimes, Montelimar), now with 3 battalions. Part of unit used to form Flieger-Regiment 90 in Summer 1943. During 8.44 withdrawn through Avignon and Rhonetal, and was disbanded the same month.

2. Kompanie / Bau-battailon 17/XI
2nd Company / Construction Battalion 17/XI
In my opinion, the XI stands for Wehrkreis XI (Hannover)


2. Kompanie / Luftnachrichten-Betriebs-Abteilung zur besonderen Verwendung 16
2nd Company / Air Signal-Operating-Battalion 16 for special employment


Luftwaffe Feldbau-amt 12
? - unknown to me
