Wehrpass entries needing deciphering

[wehrpasswilly]

HI all, calling on your expertise again please.

Recently picked up this wehrpass to an army guy that on the face of it transferred to the luftwaffe.

I attach 3 scans of pages which I believe are flight school training and death notice in a flight accident.

Any info will be much appreciated as always.

Thanks in advance.

I would like to add the missing word: "...Nachrichten - Staffelführer".

Hi all and thank you for your input.

My german ain't that great but I am assuming that Flugzeugführer is flight/flying leader - if that is the case then surely he should have earned the pilots badge as a minimum.

Also, does the entry from the 12.7.43 refer to a flight accident (fatal) ?

Yes, it does.

Literally yes....we would say pilot!

It actually says that he was killed in Lemberg (Lviv). He is in the WASt.

Hi Risto and thanks for the update, having a blond moment but what is the WASt and do you know (as the last owner) where the entry for the pilots badge is (as you know I only picked it up yesterday and was very tired when I got home).

Thanks again for all your assitance.

I guess that Flugzeugführer entry on page 21 would be the indication for being entitled to Flugzeugführer badge..?
