Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

I would sure like to know where Snautzer's 102. Flughafenbetriebs-Kp. (Qu) in his Post #1212 (above) was stationed. There were 54 of these formed between 1943 and 1945, and I have only been able to locate the stations (bases) for about half of them in the surviving documents. The montage of photos suggest Western Europe, but I know it wasn't in France. The Mickey Mouse cartoon seems to point to JG 26? These FBK (Qu) companies each had 4 Züge (platoons) and each of these could have been located at a different airfield, generally within the same Luftgau or Feldluftgau. They were bound to the airfields organization and did not accompany a particular unit from airfield-to-airfield.

No, you just have to wait a little bit.
Interesting emblem inside. FFS A/B 61 I guess.

Re: eBay: German intrest

The seller's caption to this SM.95 is surely misleading.
If the digit 6 is anything to go by, this is most likely nc 41006 which did not make its first flight until 1946 and cannot be classified as captured. As far as I know nc 41006 was built and civil registered in Italy only, post war.

Another IWM photo by the same seller, nc 41003 here

is more correctly said to be captured, even if I believe its transport and evaluation was being done with the acceptance of the, by now new and Allied, Italian Government.

Cheers
Stig
