[Adriano Baumgartner]

Andy and Chris,

Thank you for the enlightning and clarifying too....one do always learn here...I did not know the LW did have so many glider units, towing glider units, and special glider units!

And...it took me some time to dig out the meaning of what you wrote Andy....I mean the full transcription of the unit.

I (Gotha) Verbindungskommando (S)V

I understand that it was formed from the 3 (Gotha)-Staffel der Luftwaffe (at Riga)...so that shield may be from that Staffel indeed...and your description (from the book) seems to match the image depicted.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge...I learned a lot today!
