Schulstaffel Lippstadt

I am trying to find the details of the breakdown or set up of the flight training school at Lippstadt, in particular the Schulstaffel.

I have tried several Google searches to no avail, and I have looked through Michael Holmes exhaustive data with no end result.

Can anyone please help? I can assure you it will be very much appreciated.

Regards Richard.

Re: Schulstaffel Lippstadt

It's one of these:

Lippstadt
Reserve Training & Replacement Units: Stuka-Erg.St./VIII. Fliegerkorps (May 40 – Mar 41); Erg.St.(Schl.)/LG 2 (Aug 40 – Jan 42); Erg.St./Schl.G. 1 (Jan – Mar 42); 5./Erg.JGr. Ost (Mar – Apr 42).

Ergänzungsstaffeln were commonly - albeit incorrectly - referred to informally as a "Schulstaffel".

Schulstaffel Lippstadt

Larry

Thank you as always for your help.

The information you have provided fits in perfectly as I have the urkunde for a Flugzeugfuhrerabzeichen issued in June-1940, bearing a pencil annotation in the top right hand corner 'Schulstaffel Lippstadt'. The man in question was subsequently assigned to 4./St.G77.

Regards Richard.
