The Abteilung was stationed at Brest/France from late summer 1940 to the end of 1941, and then moved to Le Havre where it remained until August 1944. It seems to have always been under Flak-Rgt. 100, which eventually came under 13. Flak-Div. The Abt. suffered fairly frequent casualties from Allied air attacks. Its 1. Batterie was a schwere Batterie, so it was almost certainly equipped with 8.8 cm guns.
There doesn't seen to be an information on where it went after the retreat from France. One source states that it had heavy losses during the summer of 1944, so perhaps only remnants were left to withdraw into the Reich.
Any additional information that you might have on 193 would be appreciated.

Lee,
To answer your question about the tape. No! If it is the green Polizei Soldbuch, then yes.
