Notes:
1. The above is accurate for 1 July 1942.
2. Korps assignments, Armee-, Pz.- and Flieger-, could not be determined except for NAGr. 15. The Nahaufklärungsgruppen were tactically (einsatzmässige) to an Armee which then decided how to distribute the Staffeln of the NAGr. among its Korps. These Korps assignments could change daily thus it’s impossible to tell from the surviving documentation which Korps had which Staffel on which day.
3. The above is based on research in all the surviving Luftwaffe and Armee records. I did not attempt to research Korps records due to the huge mass of them.
