Zirkus Rosarius (also known as the Wanderzirkus Rosarius) was an Erprobungskommando-style special test unit of the Luftwaffe, specifically of the Luftwaffe High Command, tasked with testing captured British and American aircraft, all of which were repainted in German markings. The purpose of testing allied aircraft was to discover any strengths or vulnerabilities in their design or performance. This information was highly useful in enabling German service personnel to develop tactics designed to counter strengths and exploit any vulnerabilities.

  • Wanderzirkus Rosarius (auch „Beutezirkus Rosarius“ oder einfach „Zirkus Rosarius“) war der inoffizielle Name der 2. Staffel des Versuchsverbands Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe (2./Versuchsverband Ob.d.L.) im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Die Luftwaffeneinheit verwendete erbeutete alliierte Flugzeuge, um sie deutschen Jagdfliegern vorzustellen, damit diese deren Stärken und Schwächen kennenlernen konnten. (de)
  • Zirkus Rosarius (también conocida como Wanderzirkus Rosarius) fue una unidad especial de pruebas (Erprobungskommando) de la Luftwaffe, específicamente del Alto Mando de la Luftwaffe, encargada de probar los aviones británicos y estadounidenses capturados, tras ser repintados con distintivos alemanes. El propósito de probar las aeronaves aliadas era descubrir los puntos fuertes y las vulnerabilidades en su diseño o desempeño. Esta información fue muy útil para permitir que el personal de servicio alemán desarrollara tácticas diseñadas para contrarrestar los puntos fuertes y explotar cualquier vulnerabilidad. La unidad fue formada por Theodor Rosarius en 1943 y formaba parte del 2.Staffel/Versuchsverband Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe (segundo escuadrón de la Unidad Experimental del Alto Mando de la Luftwaffe). El Zirkus también recorrió aeródromos operativos mostrando a los pilotos de la Luftwaffe los aviones capturados y entrenándolos en técnicas para contrarrestarlos. El Zirkus Rosarius disponía de su propio Geschwaderkennung o código identificador, el "T9", con algunos de los aviones de la unidad procedentes del , empleando el código "A3" de esa ala. (es)
  • Il Zirkus Rosarius, anche Wanderzirkus Rosarius, era una unità speciale della Luftwaffe durante la seconda guerra mondiale, che operava con velivoli catturati agli Alleati, ridipinti con colori ed insegne tedesche. Diversamente dal Kampfgeschwader 200, il suo scopo era di addestrare i piloti tedeschi a familiarizzare con gli aerei Alleati ed i loro comportamenti in volo, e l'unità girava per gli aeroporti operativi della Luftwaffe. inizialmente al comando di Theodor Rosarius nel 1943, era parte del 2./Versuchsverband Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe.

The Zirkus also toured operational airfields showing Luftwaffe pilots the captured aircraft and training them in techniques to counter these aircraft. The Zirkus Rosarius seemed to have merited the use of its own Geschwaderkennung ("wing code") of "T9", with a few of the unit's aircraft coming from KG 200, which already used the "A3" identification code of that wing.
