Can anybody tell something about it?

No such animal. There was a 47/VI and a 47/XI. Ldssch.Züge d.Lw. were numbered after the Luftgau in which they were formed. The Luftgäue that raised Ldssch.Züge were: I, II, III, IV, VI, VII, VIII, XI, XII, XIII and XVII. Each Ldssch.Zug numbered 40 to 50 men. Some had an Lt. or Oblt. in charge, but most of them were under a Feldwebel. The men were nearly all from the over 30 age group. In fact, many of them were over 35.

I strongly doubt if you will be able to find any information on the one you have. They were too small and insignificant to appear in what few Luftwaffe records survived the war.

I see. I though that it is very difficult to get something about this unit. Anyway, thank you for the answer.
