(m) = motorisiert = motorised

(v) = verlegefähig = semi-motorised (these units originally had the acronym "t.mot", teil motorisiert)

(o) = ortsfest = fixed location (i.e. non-motorised).


To move a (v) unit might have required the assistance of a Flaktransportbatterie (a motorised troop of 200 men) .
