Aufklärungsgruppe (F) Nacht
Several postwar sources have implied the existence of a Gruppenstab for the four Nachtaufklärungsstaffeln (1. - 4.), but there is absolutely no support for this in the surviving documents. No Feldpost number was ever issued for a Gruppenstab nor is there a KStN for one. There is no mention of a Stab in any of the German records or in any of the Allied intelligence documentation, including the ULTRA intercepts.
A Note on the Aufklärungsgruppe (F) Nacht:
