Sniper School in Zeithain (Saxony)

According to the testimony of SS-Ostuf. Karl Ernst Bolz (Supply Officer of the SS-Jagdverbände), there was a "Sniper School in Zaitheim (Saxony)", which was in Dec/44 or Jan/45 under command of Ustuf. Wilscher. Only one sniper course was completed; while second was disbanded due to the Allied advance. Wilscher was then charged to form a KG.

Any other info on this school?
