division this unit was assigned

[John C]

Hello,

I just purchased a wehrpass with a unit that I can not put with a division. I was wondering if anyone could tell me which division?

4 le heer flak art abt 317 during August 1944


Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,

this unit was not a part of any division, but an independent unit (Heerestruppe) and could be attached
to different divisions or at corps level, depending on the situation.

Here is the Lexicon entry on this unit :

Archi,

thanks for the info.

I realized in my haste that I left out one other part.
It should be the following:

4 le heer flak art abt (bo) 317


What does the "(bo)" mean in this unit listing?
