HI Folks,

I know it's in pretty bad shape but if someone has an idea about the abbreviations on this german tag, I would love to hear from him.

Thanks in advance,

Pierre

Dear Andreas,

Thanks for the quick reply: there seems to be a " S. / " before the FLIEG ... is that consistent with what you told me ... maybe you didn't see it.

let me know when you can

Best,

Hello Pierre, i dont know what the abbreviation "S" means but i think decoding Flieger-Waffentechnische Schule 2 still is a good one.

It is Flieger-waffentechnische Schule 2i

I think there is a difference between Fliegerwaffenschule and Flieger-Waffentechnische Schule.

IMO the frist one is for gunners and second one for ground crews and mechanics?
