I know from young men born 1927 (at this case one of my uncels) who trained at Wirelessoperator School, but never saw an airplane! All this young men served latter with Fallschirmjäger or Luftwaffen-Festungseinheiten as normal infantry. By the end of 1944 the youngest Flugzeugführer in active service where born at 1925.
