Hi Gentlemen,
Today I have a question about the fonction of those two german military organisations during WWI. Sometimes there were in the same town or village both Kommandanturen, one Orts-K. and one Etappen-K. Why? What is the difference between them?

Does someone know the meaning of following two abbreviations:

H.D.K and A.K.K. 117
They must be in relation with the word Kommandantur....

Thank you Guys in advance for your help!

Philippe
