Looking at known sysmbols, I must say I am still with Frank. The photo is fuzzy so hard to be 100%, but it looks very much like the known shield of A/B 61.

Yes, good point, but there was Flugzeugführerschule C 4 which became later Flugzeugführerschule B 4. As far as I am aware no emblem has been found for FFS C 4.

If you look carefully again on the photo you will see in the left corner of the shield quite clearly A/B. What you see as a C, I see as a fuzzy digit 6 and what you see as a digit 4, I see as a shaky 1. Since a shield carrying the text/digits A/B C 4 is an impossibility, it simply has to an A/B schule.

Since all books I have also state there was no A/B 64, enhance my belief Frank is correct and we do look at a shield from A/B 61.

Looking at the emblem itself, I agree, I have not seen any shield either for C 4 or its later B 4, but it would be very, very odd if both A/B 61 and C later B 4 also carried basically the same emblem.

Since these emblems used by the school units very often represented their place of origin, in this case a twin-towered building with a rampant lion (which all my books says was the arms of Oschatz) why would C/B 4 choose an emblem basically exactly as A/B 61? Makes no sense. Sorry....

Among all the picture:


"Oschatz 1943."


Is it enough?


Ps: Crest is captioned "A/B 61 - Oschatz" ... Should be enough now.
