Sanitätsschule der Luftwaffe

[obdl3945]

Hi,

I would like to ask if anyone has a copy of the publication 'Luftwaffe at War' by Waldemar Trojca and Karlheinz Münch (ISBN: 978-83-60041-27-7)?

I ask, as there is an image at the top of page 97 showing a Ju87A of the above-named unit. The image shows the aircraft from the right side, but only the first part of the unit code can be seen, between the tailplane and the national marking. To my eye, the visible portion would appear to read either 'L2V+' or possibly 'LZV+'.

I find this presentation unusual in that it appears to show three characters to the left side of the national marking. Was the unit's coding in some way anomolous? Was this presentation commonplace on the unit's aircraft? Or indeed, is it perhaps a vestige of a previous code?
If anyone is able to enlighten me, I would be grateful.

Also, I am only aware of images showing the Ju87A with the unit insignia of a snake entwined round a staff or rod, with stylised wings near the top of the insignia and a swastika on a white disc centred between them. I find the Ju87A an unusual choice of aircraft to use in this type of unit but imagine other types may have been used as well. Would anyone have such images they would be willing to share, especially if they carry the unit insignia?

Regards,

Paul

All I have Paul. I never purchased the book you mentioned perhaps I should have but I thought it too expensive as all the Trojca books are.

And source Chris??

[ChrisS]

Not from an existing open forum Franck or from anothers posting. ;-)

[ouidjat]

When you do expect sources in your forum, please do it here, too

[ChrisS]

Having been a member of this forum for longer than yourself I can I think call this 'my' forum too.

Paul, I hope the images prove useful despite the uncalled for and unnecessary interjections.

Please Nick,
Close this thread again as I'm not able to remain silent.

Hmmm..........
I am wondering if this is supposed to be the Ärztliche Akademie d.Lw. in Berlin, Sanitätsschule 1 d.Lw. (Zlin/Böhmen), Sanitätsschule 2 d.Lw. (Wien-Baden) or Sanitätsschule 3 d.Lw. (Arras/Frankreich)?

Thank you Larry I had not realised there were 4 discrete organisations within the Luftwaffe medical set up. Do you know if each had a flying component?

Norbert, the chap in my last two images (Source: http://www.audiovis.nac.gov.pl) is carrying one the medical apparatus an x-ray plate you mentioned but explains it is in a centrifugal force machine at 5.5g. In Helmut Erfurt's other work on the Ju 87 Black Cross Volume 5 Page 42 he notes the designation of these aircraft as Ju 87A-2 med. He also mentions the Ju 87 tests were carried out at the Junkers works at Dessau.
