"Transportstaffel Fliegerkorps" AGs missing

Post by Wiedrock »

Recently I was trying to figure out the usage of the so called "Transportstaffel Fliegerkorps" of which every Fliegerkorps had one with usually about 12-16 Ju 52 planes assigned. Occasionally this Staffel seem to have had additional "Taxi-planes" if there was no real Verbindungs and/or Flugbereitschaft available in/for the Korps.
Reports seem to be rare but it appears those Staffeln were actually being mostly used for supply, equipment, spare parts and fuel and returned with wounded soldiers. For sure also Generals/Officers may have been moved around using those Transportstaffeln and their Ju 52's if no Taxi-planes were available.

The best site with the most combined information which I've found is this one:
https://www.luftwaffedata.co.uk/index.p ... _Histories

Supply runs etc. were done e.g. Stalingrad, Kerch, Crimea, Tunis/Mediterranean. Some collection of pictures can be found here. Sometimes the Staffeln were attached to bigger Transport-AGs and therefore not being named in lists as a separate Staffel taking part in an emergency airlift.

Some additional Photo which shows them being used for Fuel-Supply.


To sum up, I feel like those Staffeln are missing in the current "Air-OOB", since it seems like they were used mostly like every other Transport AG just with a larger focus on supplying the Korps-AGs themselves.




Attached I've added (all) those Staffeln to my Transport AG/AOG Flowchart (temporary marked with yellow for this thread).
