Re: Kurierstaffel 5 & 7, activities 1940 ?

Hi Doug

My source is Barry Rosch and Luftwaffe Codes,markings and units 1939-45

According to him Kurierst 5 was formed under that name and not under the name Kurierst 4. He also states that the unit became 25/Fl.Verb.G2 in November 1943 and not Oct 1942 as you list. He confirms the swap between St 4 and 5 in Feb 1940.

Likewise Kurierst 7 became 12./Fl.Verb.G2 in Dec 1943 and not Oct 1943.

I suppose you rely on later details, but can you confirm your sources?
Cheers
Stig
