4th Ersatz Machine Gun Company of the 18th Army Corps.

An ersatz (German pronunciation: [ɛʀˈzats]) good is a substitute good, especially one that is considered inferior to the good it replaces. It has particular connotations of wartime usage.
|
I would think in the context of a company or battalion or regiment, "ersatz" would be closer to what we would call a "replacement" unit- and not necessarily "inferior".
