I think that Heeres Betreeungs Kompanien came under the direction of the Ordnungspolitzei and were composed of those soldiers who had been disciplined, so part of the punishment units. I haven't got anything specifically on Heeres Betreeungs Komp 64 apart from a reference to it being used with Eisenbahn units, security for rail traffic.

Hi Jan.
I found a little bit of information and BlackCat is right about them being linked to the Eisenbahn.
Organisation der Streifendienste -
- Heeres-Betreuungs-Abteilungen 1-13
- Heeres-Betreuungs-Kompanien 14-17, 51-72 (Eisenbahn), 101-106 (mot.), 201-210 (Eisenb.)

Kind regards,
Will.

Thank you both for the info that they were part of the "Heeres- und Wehrmachts-Streifendienste" and specifically involved in duties connected with rail traffic. The location of the "Baracke" just at the end of the railroad that led to the camp supports this very nicely.
I wish I could somehow get into some digital archive to find out more about this unit but seems that the only way to get to the archives is to travel to the military archives in Freiburg Germany.
Best, Jan

I'm not sure how Heeres Betreeungs Kompanie 64 would fit into the command structure but it appears it was from higher up rather than being subordinated to a Politzei Bataillon.

Would be nice if any EKM turn up during your searches. Keep us posted.
