АЗОП acronym

[Dann Falk]

Greetings to my Russian speakers.

I have another abbreviation/acronym from WW II.

(In Russian from 1943) 149 АЗОП

(in English) 149 AZOP - (possible 149 Antiaircraft Defense Regiment), but I cannot find it listed anywhere.

Thanks for any help.

Are you sure it is a correct spelling?

Perhaps it is: ОЗАП - отдельный зенитный артиллерийский полк, or
ОЗАД - отдельный зенитный артиллерийский дивизион

This is part of the text.

обстрелян район расположения 149 АЗОП, и только случзйно был...
fired at the location of 149 AZOP, and only by chance was

This is from TsAMO archive document #454900838.

I hope this helps

Once again, Much Thanks Greg for your help.
