I came across the designation "Messtrupp" in several contexts, fe in the description of a specialized Horch Kfz 15 version (mittler Messtruppp Kraftwagen).
What does a Messtrupp do (I'm guessing it has to do with artillery), and is there one kind, or are there different kinds?
Thanks in advance.
Job of messtrupps?

Hello,
There were several types of these units. There were light-, sound-, V0- Messtrupps which used these cars. There were different kinds light, medium, heavy Trupps. These were used in artillery and artillery support units to e.g. detect enemy batteries by sound or light.
