Inspekteur über alle mit Kampfmitteln mit Raketenantrieb angestatteten Einheiten der Luftwaffe bis zur Truppenreife

(Inspector Over All Units of the Air Force Equipped with Rocket-Propelled Combat Weapons Until the Date the Unit Is Declared Operational)

Inspekteur

SS-Gruppenführer und Gen..Lt. der Waffen-SS Dr. Ing. Hans Kammler (22 Jan 45 - 8 May 45)

History

Established 22 January 1945 on Reichsmarschall Göring's personal orders. Kammler, as Göring's special deputy, was made responsible for the development, procurement and testing of all ground-launched, rocket-propelled weapons intended for the Luftwaffe (i.e., V-1, V-2, etc.). The creation of this inspectorate with an SS general in charge was symptomatic of the last desperate months of the Third Reich and the frenzied development of so-called "wonder weapons." ^[1]
