Kaczmarek,

I agree, but do you know what was meant with a "Kapitänslehrgang"? This was stated to me by former St.Kap. as necessary to become St.Kap. It seems to me there was more to it than just being formally appointed Staffelkapitän.

To be absolutely certain if somebody was Staffelführer or Staffelkapitän one needs to assess as many documents as possible. NVM may help but also Soldbuch-entries, letters to relatives of KIA/MIA pilots, etc.

cheers,

John
