'4./Kb-Vorschule Stolp/Reitz' Wehrpass Entry

[Richard Mills]

Can anyone explain the entry '4./Kb-Vorschule Stolp/Reitz' in a Luftwaffe Wehrpass I am currently researching.

Any help will be very well received indeed.

Regards Richard.

Richard,

Other forum members know a lot more, but I think that here Kb is short for Kampfbeobachter (observer) while Vorschule Stolp/Reitz refers to the training school at the airfield with the same name.

A link with lots of details, although in German, here: http://www.kunefke.de/index.php/luft...tolp-west.html

Regards,

4. Kompanie Kampfbeobachter-Vorschule Stolp-Reitz (it was a unit responsible for basic training of the observers; it was based at Stolp-Reitz airfield).

Gents, thank you very much indeed for your help with this.

It was the 'Kb' designation which had me stumped!
