Luftwaffe Flieger technische Vorschule Suhl - commemorative grouping

Grouping of items, largely post-WW2, commemorating and describing the Luftwaffe Flieger Technische Vorschule, located in Suhl, Thuringia. The Luftwaffe established multiple “Technische Vorschule” throughout Germany, these training centers served the purpose of offering introductory training for German teenagers / Hitler Youth members, who would go to specialization and would either later join the Luftwaffe or work in arms and munitions production for the Luftwaffe. The items (except 2 photos, which are WW2 vintage) were produced by a German veterans group, commemorating their time spent at the Luftwaffe facility, as well as remembering their fallen comrades. Useful grouping for research purposes, offers a glimpse of how the Luftwaffe functioned, in terms of recruitment and training. Consists of:

-1996 printed booklet on the history of the Flieger technische vorschule, written by a former trainee, Rolf Andersche (shown in a Hitler Jugend uniform as a 15 year old in 1943). The booklet offers plenty of details on this Luftwaffe training school (personnel, facilities, history, commandants, etc). Good number of photos and images. 

-1992 dated, stapled info newsletter describing the history of the Luftwaffe’s training facility, as well general history of the city of Suhl (it was a well-known center of arms production). Quite a bit of interesting information on various Third Reich organizations, as well as interesting photos.

-2 WW2 era photographs, showing groups of Luftwaffe personnel and young trainees in Hitler Jugend uniform (undergoing training at the Flieger technische Vorscuhile in Suhl).

-Commemorative metallic plate, with the Luftwaffe emblem for the Technische Vorschule (undated, probably 1980’s or 90’s vintage).

-Plastic Luftwaffe Technische Vorschule emblem mounted on a polished wooden display piece. Undated, probably 1980’s or 90’s vintage.

-Hardcover, 1986 printed, tourism book on the city of Suhl.
