No offense, but I think you have a seriously flawed view of the Lw.-Felddivisionen. Sorry, Bergh, you misunderstood me because I used an idiomatic expression. I should have written it out in full as: "I don't mean to offend you, but I think you have a seriously flawed view of the Lw.-Felddivis...

Yes, Isa, the uniformed civilian employees of the Luftwaffe, which from February 1944 was called the TSD (Truppensonderdienst), wore the same uniform as the regular Luftwaffe. Their arm of service color on their collar tabs was light blue and their shoulder boards had a Caduceus (staff entwined with...

Feldafing is a tiny village 30 km SW of München on the west shore of the Starnberger See. In the reference books I have for wartime German secondary schools there is no mention of Feldafing. The secondary school students from Feldafing attended the Oberschule Starnberg, just 6.8 km north of Feldafin...
