Yup, we have a sticky thread at the beginning of the section "Link to LEXIKON DER WEHRMACHT- FIND UNIT INFORMATION HERE" that tells you all you need to know about any unit. I even wrote a short tutorial on how to read common Erkennungsmarke text- you could easily look this kind of thing up any time you like
