Thank you Gerdan and th (K) means that it was formed with Kriegsgefangenen, right?

But they did actually fought in the war?
Was did division on active duty or what was their objective?

Many thanks!

A Luftwaffen-Bau-Bataillon did not fight. In general they were constructing air bases, air strips and landing grounds and all construction the Luftwaffe needed - also in the occupied area.
