Unit located at Fl.Pl. Dievenow?
 

Does anyone know what unit was stationed at Fl.Pl. Dievenow during Sep/Oct-42? Or a source where I might find this? I have a number of FB entries for Bf Rolf Bettaque I'm trying to trace. Thanks in advance.

Possibly Luftnachrichtenschule 6 (See).

Short time spent at Dievenow would rather indicate LNS 6.
But if your FB has Schleppflug, Kurierflug and/or Zieldarstellungsflug entries, it is for sure Ld.Kdo. 65.

Hello Jim,

As Bettaque was Bordfunker with the 2./NJG 1 in Venlo since September 1943, I will check my records on him (I have his diary, Flugbuch and several pictures) but I have a faint memory that he was at a Luftnachrichtenschule there.

All the best, Marcel / Venlo

Thanks again everyone. I suspect LNS(See) 6 is the correct unit. I couldn't make out the Feldpost # in my copy of the FB. I look forward to what you find Marcel.
