Unknown unit type: Tr.Entg.Kp. 622

Hello,

Does anyone know what kind of unit was this one, Tr. Entg. Kp. 622?
I guess it was a logistic company dealing with transportation, but what was the meaning of this "Entg."?

It was sent in Romania in February 1941.

Thank you in advance.
Regards,

Thank you!
I imagine two tasks for such a unit: gas defense or struggle against lice.
Which one was correct?

CNE503, I would say more in the line of "cleaning up" after the fighting has ended. But as chem/bio weapons were not actually used, they could probably also be used in a "medical" role.

Hello,

The "real" usage was delousing etc.... of troops and uniforms before going back to the Homeland and in certain periods of times.

That's what I suspected. Thank you Christoph and Waleed!
