Mystery Luftwaffe Stamps Pre War from 1937
Hi,
Please can anyone ID these stamps that are inside a pair of Flying Boots that came from Sola Luftwaffe Base Norway many years ago. It would be interesting to know. My interpretation of the stamps are; FL.H.Kitr.Liega 1937 KG ?V 153 10.St Please see attached pictures. Many Thanks Last edited by Mr Schmitt; 26th December 2015 at 14:25. |

How about Fl.H.Kdtr. Liegn. = Fliegerhorst Kommandantur Liegnitz?
According to the DeZeng/Stankey airfield lists, it was used by IV./KG 153 from April 1937 to October 1938. |

Hi Nick,
I think your right on the money. That fits perfectly. Many thanks. On closer inspection to the name Liega, it is certainly Liegn. abbreviated for Liegnitz. What aircraft would IV/KG153 have been flying during that time and after? Thanks again |

That's great Chris, very interesting thank you.
I take it that the 10 St. would mean 10 Staffel? Kind Regards |

Yes. And 10. Staffel would have belonged to IV. Gruppe of KG 153.
