Re: KuFlGr Stavanger

When the Küstenfliegerstaffeln 3./406, 2./906 and 3./606 were ordered to transfer to Stavanger at the end of May 1940, these units came under the command of Major Schwarz who formed a Stab with the designation Gruppe Schwarz, effective from 31.05.1940.

On 14.06.1940 Major Schwarz returned to Germany and was replaced by Major Stockmann. The Stab was at the same time renamed Kü.Fl.Gruppe Stavanger. This arrangement lasted until 18.07.1940 when the formation of Stab Küstenfliegergruppe 706 was ordered.
