    Markings in Luft Visor Sweatband

    I was wondering if the Luft historians here could help with a marking inside the sweatband of a flight piped Luft EM visor. It says this in a box: ?Sch.Salzw. 1936. I'm thinking it must be a flying school in Salzwedel but I didn't find anything with a Google search. Anything on the type of unit or its role would be appreciated. Many thanks.
    It's posted on the cloth headgear forum but I couldn't get the link to paste.
    Regards,

    The film "Idiocracy" was originally released as a comedy. Now it has been re-released as a documentary.
