    Numbers on large flag

    Can anyone help me figure out these unit numbers. I've done some searching and am not coming up with much.

    This is on a really large flag, 94" x 58"

    Hello Tombak:
    IMO it is the US unit that captured the flag, the 558th
    Anti-Aircraft-Artillery Automatic Weapons Battalion
    (AAA AW). Many of these units became foot troops
    as the Luftwaffe threat was wiped out by the USAAF.

    Or a bogus marking trying to connect the flag to the
    anti-aircraft battalion of the 558th Grenadier Division.

    In German it would be AFA = Antiflugzeugartillerie.
