Hello all,
Could anyone help me with translating the following abbreviations:

338.ID, 159.ID, 189.ID, Festung Belfort, Fest.Reg.18, Fest.Reg.19, s.s.Fest.MG-Btl.808, Fest.MG-Btl.40, Aufkl.Abt.1000, Art.Abt.993

This is the war layout from LXIII armeekorps on 15-11-1944.

Many thanks in advance,

Festung Belfort = Festung Belfort (Fortress Belfort)
Fest.Reg.18 = Festungs-Regiment 18 (Fortress Regiment)
Fest.Reg.19 = Festungs-Regiment 19 (Fortress Regiment)
s.s.Fest.MG-Btl.808 = überschweres Festungs-Maschinengewehr-Bataillon 808 (Overheavy Fortress Machinegun Battalion)
Fest.MG-Btl.40 = Festungs-Maschinengewehr-Bataillon 40 (Fortress Machinegun Battalion)
Aufkl.Abt.1000 = Aufklärungs-Abteilung 1000 (Reconnaissance Unit)
