In December 1943 they were stationed in La Valbonne, France.
Fought under: 159 Reserve Division / 159 Infanterie Division

Other details from the Soldbuch:
Signature on Page 3 – 4. Batterie, Batterieführer, Oberleutnant Günther Nostitz
It seems he was likely captured, the last entries are June 1944 and I was unable to find any references to him online. Given the fact the Swastica is removed it is a sign he may have been captured.
