Stukaleitoffizier

[Schlageter]

Hello all,

I have several questions regarding Stukaleitoffiziere. To my understanding they had the same tasks as nowadays Forward Air Controllers and were recruited from experienced Stuka or Schlacht pilots. I found also Werner Hoffmann, the StaKa of 1./SG 1 who was assigned as Stukaleitoffizier to 9. SS-Panzerdivision "Hohenstauffen" in Februar 1945, as example to this practise.
Are there other Stuka or Schlacht pilots known to have served in this capacity?
How long was the service as Stukaleitoffizier before the pilots returned to their original units?
Did the Stukaleitoffiziere attend a specific course or received training to prepare for this job?

Thanks in advance for your input

Best

Michael
