Luftgaustab z.b.V. Holland 1

(FpN: L 08597 ?)


Kommandeur:

Gen.Maj. Rudolf von Katte (10 Sep 44 - 9 May 45)


Formation and History. (Sep 44 - May 45)

Formed o/a 10 September 1944, possibly at Zutphen/Holland, and then at Almelo from around November or December 1944. Little is known of this Stab. Its commander, given above, was also commander of Kdo.Flughafenbereich 2/III at the same time, so the Stab is believed to have been co-located with the headquarters of this airfield regional command. It was probably a small staff responsible for keeping the Luftwaffe airfields and units in eastern Holland supplied during the last eight months of the war.[1]
