For years I was fairly certain
that the Luftwaffe fighter command and control organization was very
systematic, with a relationship between commands and operational units,
which followed standardized conventions and hence led to some degree of
simplicity but also inflexibility. This has now proven to be the case.
Below is tables of organization for 1 - 5 JD as of 31 AUG 1943. They
illustrate the following principle. One NJ Geschw. was assigned to one
JD. The GefStd of the JD was located on an airfield and the NJ Geschw. staff
was collocated. The GefStd of a NJRF was located on an airfield, which
normally also housed a NJ Gr. The NJRF exercised operational control
over that Gruppe only. Further a NJRF exercised operational control
over a number of radarstations in a rigid organizational relationship.
As the number of flying units increased, elements from other NJ Geschw.
could also be assigned to the JD. The chart below does thus not depict
all flying units within the respective JD area of responsibility. |
