Hi, guys!

Could You pls tell me what the function of this unit was?

Why would a person be assigned to it?

When would one be transferred out of it?

Regards,
Andreas

There were also a couple of others (Dortmund, Dedelstorf and Lippstadt). The Frontfliegersammelgruppe (a.k.a. Jagdfliegersammelgruppe) Quedlinburg existed for most of the war years and had a small Stab and 1. - 3.Kp. Aircrew personnel without specific reassignment orders were sent there following the destruction or disbandment of their unit, or following a period of medical convalescence, to await assignment orders to their next unit. They were usually there for 2 to 4 weeks. In effect, they were processing centers for reassigning aircrew.
