[Larry deZeng]

Here is the correct name of the unit:

Einsatz-Kampfgruppe Ju 88/Chef Ausbildungswesens

(Unit Code K5+)


Formation and Organization.(Apr 43-May 43)
Formed April-May 1943 in Germany as a provisional unit (“an der Kommandoweg aufgestellt”) with Gruppenstab and 1. – 3.Staffel using assets taken from the bomber training schools and initially named Einsatz-Kampfgruppe Ju 88/General d.Fliegerausbildungs. The purpose of the formation is not entirely clear due to a lack of documents, but it appears to have been hastily assembled to reinforce Luftwaffe bomber assets in the Mediterranean contingent withthe collapse of the front in Tunisia, along with bomber support for a major anti-partisan operation in Yugoslavia, and to strengthen air power in the Balkans in particular where the Germans feared future Allied landings. In late May or early June 1943, its name was changed to the above.[1]
