Hello Kaczmarek,
Verbandsführerlehrgang can't be the trick, that was established much later. Before that we already had Staffelführer's and Staffelkapitäne...perhaps somebody else can clear this up?
Thanks,
John.

John,
you are definetely wrong.
Schuck was officially made to a
Staffelkapitän (not a Staffelführer) onwards from July 1944 by the Geschwaderkommodore Major Heinrich Ehrler in Petsamo of the 10./JG 5.
This is fact.
You can not false the facts/history by - as you say - tricky meanings.
Sorry, if this does not fit into your "clearings". I can not help you with other ideas.
Best, Horst
