7. Kp. II / XIII, so he could mean 7th Comp. 2nd Batl./13th Rgt. or 7th Comp. 2nd Rgt./13 Div.
The name of this Leutnant I have to think about.

The clue here is in the use of Roman numerals, it indicates the Wehrkreis the unit belongs to.

As it's an infantry cap we can identify the unit as 7 Kompanie Landesschützen Bataillon II/XIII. Formed during the mobilization in August 1939. In March 1940 it became II./Infanterie Regt.641 which in turn became Wach Bataillon 720 in Nov.1940 and again changed to Nachschub Btl.720 in 1943.

the unit served on occupation duties in Poland 39\40. Then transferred to the West also on occupation duties. At the time of the invasion of the Soviet Union it was with the 9 Armee and by 1943 with Heeresgruppe Süd.

the unit's duties were basically guarding POWs and locations.

Overlooked this option.
