II.(Schlacht)Lehrgeschwader 2

[SR71Blackbird]

Hello Forum!

There are some little correction to be made.
The Gruppenkommandeur Major Georg Spielvogel died on September 9th 1939 and not on the 13th.
And sorry, but not being to fancy, the correct abbreviation for II. Schlachtgruppe/Lehrgeschwader 2 ist II.(Schl.)/LG 2.

Greetings from Tutow, the Home of II.(Schl.)/LG 2

Hello, Heiko

I agree that the abbreviated name should be what you say in your latest post.

The problem (or rather issue) is that the official documents remaining in the records of the Luftwaffe general staff uses these other variants of abbreviations.

So just to be able to quote directly from the reference I have used the naming as given in them.

Hello Andreas!

You are quite right, as abbreviation like (S), (Sch) or (Schlacht) were used. Using the backslash on the wrong position would indicate a totally different unit, which didn't exist. II./(Schl.)LG 2 reading like Schlacht-Lehrgeschwader
But as I said before, I don't want to be to finicky. There is allways the possibilities of misspelling even in official documents.
