Formation and History. (Apr 43 - Sep 43)

Formed 1 April 1943 in northern France for Luftflotte 3, although the personnel records of the operations officer (la), Major Gerhard Schöpfel, state that he was appointed on 10 January 1943. Reportedly renamed Jagdfliegerführer Bretagne on 6 September 1943, although there is evidence that it may have been using that designation as early as July 1943. The Stab was located at Rennes. This is a poorly documented command and further details are needed.[1]
