Many thanks Francois..

Looking at the breakdown the only possible unit would be:

FP Nr. 36994 B - 10 Batterie, Artillerie Regiment 389

Thanks, Ian.. But if the letters were written in the autumn of 1944 wouldn't it have to be the Italian based unit that Francois mentioned ?

All input is greatly appreciated.

Looking at the breakdown the only possible unit would be:

FP Nr. 36994 B - 10 Batterie, Artillerie Regiment 389

The Italian unit was formed 5.6.1944, the other unit was formed during 1943 so both are possible in 1944.
However, the Art.Rgt. does show that seperate Batteries are denoted by extra letters, Italian unit does not.

A - Stab IV.
B - 10 Battr.
C - 11 Battr.
D - 12 Battr.
