Greetings!
I am hoping someone can help me understand the names of the German aviation units.
I have seen a number of short forms used:
FA xxx
FAA xxx
FA Axxx
Fl. Abt. xxx
Fl. Abt. Axxx
Are all of the above the same thing?
If not, does the numeric component ever repeat - meaning, if there is an FA 202, might there also be another, different, unit with the name FAA 202?
I have also seen FEA, where I believe the 'E' stands for 'Ersatz'?
Same questions regarding the numbers, please...
I realize this is a very basic question, but everyone assumes we all understand and I thought I might get it cleared up.
TIA,
