Concerning the Flak there were also the following schools (not all in Belgium )

- Entfernungsmesser Schule established in La Fere in 1915 and moved to Gent in 1917.

- Flakkraftfahrschule in Valenciennes

- Flakscheinwerferschule Hannover built from the Flakscheinwerfer-Ersatztruppen in Hannover in 1917.

The Flakschießschule mentioned by Rick was the biggest one. It was transfered from Ostende to Blankenberghe at the request of the Marinekorps in 1917. It was subdivided into several Abteilungen - one for every calibre.

In spring 1918 there was also a small Flakschule established at Bruxelles because of the great demand for Flak-Crews for the "Operation Michael".

Best, Immo
