Artillerie abbreviations
Can someone help with these abbreviations all linked to Artillerie batteries? I've found some myself as they are logical or explained in the file itself, but some I cannot figure out. They all come from the same document which is a lists of locations with coordinates.

Re: Artillerie abbreviations
Wa.-St. could be Wachtstellung.
A place were guns are stored before active duty.

Re: Artillerie abbreviations
An Arbeitsgeschütz is a gun positioned a short distance from the main battery site, that can be used for things like ranging shots without exposing the battery. It can also fire together with the rest of the battery, to protect it against enemy sound ranging.

Re: Artillerie abbreviations
Thanks again!
I found the reference to the Arbeitsgeschütz only for a heavy batterie (6 x 15 cm sFH 18), while the medium batteries (4 x 10,5 cm 18/40) didn't had any Arbeitsgeschütze.

Re: Artillerie abbreviations
I have some more - from a diary of a Abteilungs Kommandeur, so I am not 100% shure they are official but I would think so...
M-Stelle
U-Stelle
(could be that his handwriting had M-Stelle = U-Stelle and I have misread it but I looks like different Stellen)
thanks
Alexander
PS: and happy new year!

Re: Artillerie abbreviations
FA should be Feldmaßige Ausbau and the BI is the Befehlsstelle of a Flakbatterie.
So a Befehlsstelle in a fieldorder emplacement.
I thought (v) meant verstärkt but I could be wrong, in 1944 many Flak-Abt. in the Netherlands were stationed near the vital retreat bridges, most of these had the (v) in the name.

Re: Artillerie abbreviations
Thx JKernwerk for your swift reply !
My question was in regard of Flakbatterie Cap Roux, not far from Mandelieu-La Napoule and was occupied by gemischte Flak-Abteilung 481 (v) and had some FA bunkers.
