Re: Luftwaffe Officer Career database now available
The above continued for Andreas. Below are the KStNs for transport units. These did not exist until the 1 May 1943 reorganization. There were none for the Kampfgruppe z.b.V. units, at least none that have been found of that anyone knows about. The Kampfgruppe z.b.V. units used the standard one for a Kampfgruppe [1162 (L), etc.] with extensive alterations, hence the "z.b.V." designations.
1177 (L) Transportstaffel eines Fliegerkorps (Mot.) (Air Transport Staffel of a Fliegerkorps (Motorized)) 1177b (L) Transportstaffel (Für Sondereinsatz) (Mot.) (Air Transport Staffel (For Special Operations) (Motorized) 1178 (L) Transportstaffel eines Fallschirmkorps (Air Transport Staffel of a Paratroop Corps) 1180 (L) Transportstaffel des Chef des Nachschubwesens (Air Transport Staffel of the Director of Supply 1181 (L) Stab eines Transportfliegergeschwaders (Mot) (Staff of an Air Transport Geschwader (Motorized)) 1945 allowance: 6 officers, 44 NCOs and men, 1 liaison aircraft 1182 (L) Stab einer Transportfliegergruppe (Mot) (Staff of an Air Transport Gruppe (Motorized)) 1945 allowance: 7 officers, 60 NCOs and men, 1 liaison aircraft (prior to 24 Feb 44 had 5 transport aircraft instead of the liaison aircraft) 1182a (L) Stab einer Transportfliegergruppe (Schl) (Staff of an Air Transport Gruppe (Towing)) 1183 (L) Transportfliegerstaffel (Mot) (Air Transport Staffel (Motorized) 1945 allowance: 6 officers, 121 NCOs and men, 16 transport aircraft (prior to 24 Feb 44 had 12 transport aircraft) 1183a (L) Transportfliegerstaffel (Schl) (Air Transport Staffel (Towing) 1202 (L) Stab einer Transportfliegergruppe (Me 323) (Mot) (Staff of an Air Transport Gruppe (Me 323) (Motorized)) 1203 (L) Transportfliegerstaffel (Me 323) (Mot) (Air Transport Staffel (Me 323) (Motorized)) 1945 allowance: 3 officers, 218 NCOs and men, 12 Me 323 transports 1204 (L) Stabsstaffel einer Transportfliegergruppe (Me 323) (Mot) (Stabsstaffel of an Air Transport Gruppe (Me 323) (Motorized)) (KStN unknown) Transportfliegerstaffel (Ju 352) (Air Transport Staffel (Ju 352) 1945 allowance: 7 officers, 116 NCOs and men, 12 Ju 352 transports 5112 (L) Stab einer Luftverkehrsgruppe (Staff of an Air Service Gruppe) 5113 (L) Luftverkehrsstaffel (Air Service Staffel) Larry |

Tell her to change her jackets, she seems to be always bulging out of them.

Re: Luftwaffe Officer Career database now available
A bit more about Oberst Karl von Wechmar and his "very doubtful" service in KG 3 (source ULTRA CX/JQ/455). I'm guessing that I./KG 3 passing on information to KG 26 about his war flights implies that these had been carried out with the former.

It gets better, see this ULTRA from November 1940 in which British Intelligence shows its understanding of the term "z.b.V."
