I recently bought a small group of photos showing, what I believe to be, an Army Flak or artillery-unit. There is some writing on the back of some of the photos, dating them to August 1943. There is also something written that I guess is a geographical designation, I read "Clas Böl" but searching the net on that doesn´t produce a hit...... Anyone recognize it?

Hello !

I think it says : Oksböl (which is in Denmark)

Photos seem to be taken in August 1943.
The unit could be Heeres-Flakartillerie-EuA-Abt. 280 :

Thanks Pauke!

Could the unknown town name be Geringswalde ?
His previous Ersatz unit before this one was stationed in Waldheim and the one before that in Dresden. Geringswalde is not very far from Waldheim and Dresden.

Geringswalde would work.
