Unit identification?

Hi Guys

Just received a Flugbuch of Karl Seefeldt. He only flew 33 flights from 02.07.44 to 09.07.44 at the Flugplatz Luxemburg/Sandweiler. They were training flights on the Fw 44.

The identifying Stamp at the end of the flights is very smudged so I cannot see this very clearly

Does anybody know the Unit(s) that were attached to this airfield during this period

Thanks in advance

Regards

Tom Willis

Hi Tom,

Sandweiler was a satellite airfield of Flugzeugführerschule A/B 43,
Crailsheim, former A/B 124. In Sandweiler pilots exercised with gliders.

Kind regards,
Sven.

Hi Sven

Thanks for quick response; it is possible that Seefeldt belonged to this Schule. Thanks for the pointer.

Regards

Re: Unit identification?

Hi Sven

I have just put a very large magnifier to the smudged stamp and can just make out A43.

Thanks again for the pointer.

These Fw44s I only have for 1940/41. Nice to know that they survived until mid/late 1944.
