Thanks Junker

Can you expand a bit on the name change and move to Denmark (when + sources)? Carlsen/Meyer makes no mention of either and says the school moved to Hadersleben (sounds German to me) on 9.2.45 and disbanded there on 28.4.45

It moved to Denmark 09.02.1945 called Navigationsschule Hadersleben according to a WASt-Verlustmeldung! Hadersleben is the german name for Haderslev/DK in southern Jutland. Today the airfield belongs to RDAF and called Skrydstrup. In the "Raümungsbefehl Dänemark" from 9. of may 1945 it is called Navigationsschule der Luftwaffe.

Well it can be a bit confusing when using the Luftwaffenames for different airfields in Denmark. Skrydstrup is a small village wich Luftwaffe took over i 1944 so all inhabitants had to move. The buildings was convertet to Luftwaffe-use, and the airfild build right next to it. But they named it after the nearby town Hadersleben(Haderslev). Southern Jutland was occupied from 1864 to 1920 by the germans, so all towns/village had german names during this time!
