Thank you Larry I had not realised there were 4 discrete organisations within the Luftwaffe medical set up. Do you know if each had a flying component?

Norbert, the chap in my last two images (Source: http://www.audiovis.nac.gov.pl) is carrying one the medical apparatus an x-ray plate you mentioned but explains it is in a centrifugal force machine at 5.5g. In Helmut Erfurt's other work on the Ju 87 Black Cross Volume 5 Page 42 he notes the designation of these aircraft as Ju 87A-2 med. He also mentions the Ju 87 tests were carried out at the Junkers works at Dessau.

Norbert and Chris -



Sanitätsversuchs- und Lehr-Abt. d.Lw.
(Luftwaffe Medical Experimental and Demonstration Detachment)
KStN: none.
Located at Jüterbog and subordinate to L.In.14/RLM. Date of formation unknown. It was primarily responsible for carrying out airborne medical tests to evaluate equipment intended for air crew personnel, cooperate in the development of new oxygen and related equipment for air crew, and the examining of air crew before certifying them for return to active flying duty. On 25 March 1943 it reported the crash of a He 111 P-2 belonging to it at Jüterbog-Waldlager with 25% damage. It was still in existence in April 1945.
Leiter/Kommandeur:
Dr. (med.) Schneider (a civilian) ( ? - ? )
Oberstabsarzt Prof. Dr. (med.) Knoche (or Knothe) ( ? - ? ) 1944
(Source: Schröder, Prof. Dr. (med.) Oskar (Generaloberstabsarzt and Chef des Sanitätswesens d.Lw. (L.In.14)) – “Sanitätswesen der Luftwaffe”, unpublished manuscript dated 23.7.1945, in: NASM T-2/USSBS Captured German/Japanese Air Technical Documents, roll 8188, IP No. 360, 12 pages; Fischer, Hubert - Der deutsche Sanitätsdienst 1921-1945, 5 Bde (Osnabrück, 1982-1988), Bd. 3, pp.2003.]

I think this is the only one with a flying component. I have never encountered any aircraft being assigned to the Academy or the 3 schools that I listed.

Best,
