Hello all !
Many thanks to Lionel for this great assistance !
It closes almost all the gaps.
But I also thank all others that made many good contributions as Admiraal, naxos and Angel .
Below you'll find an updated list. Some remarks on that list :
- There seemed to be 3 courses every year
- duration ~roughly 13-14 weeks with some minor variations (and a few exceptions)
- I think from mid 1944 onward, there are indiciations that the courses are no longer at the same time
for all existing schools (Therefore the ????, but more info/examples would be needed).
=> It is very surprising, that NO info is available for the 8. O.A.Lehrgang, in late 1941 ! I assume a lot of Wehrpasses
should be around, covering that timeframe ?!
Any further examples would be welcome !
Thanks to all and best regards,
Archi

Hello Angel !
Many thanks for the kind words and also for the additional examples !
Your additional examples are very important !
In general, they confirm the above list. The only slight difference is for 7. O.A.-Lehrgang at the
"Schiesslehrgänge of Artillerieschule Jüterbog".
I think I found a similar example, that also shows that the courses at that part of the school, were a little bit later
than the "regular" ones. But of course, this needs more examples for confirmation !
So, any addition to this thread is welcome !
Best regards,
Archi

I have been surfing the forum and find some Wehrpass that match the dates from some of the curses, attached scans and links to the several pieces previously shown.
Three examples for the 2 O.A. and one for the 3 O.A.

Hello Angel !
Great job and excellent additional information !
Fantastic, many thanks .
After going through them, I think all those entries are in accordance with the list up to the 15th OA/Fhjk. Lehrgang.
For courses after that one, there maybe major deviations, but this still has to be checked in more detail.
Thanks again and best regards,
Archi

Maybe I'm a bit late but here are two officers I have, both early war officers.
I don't read these too well , I assume from previous posts it's mainly page 21 that shows officers courses but I'll post a couple extra with promotions and units to be more thorough. (and his pic for curiosity sake)
Here's no. 1
