Re: Luftwafffe pilot rotation
If an otherwise unwounded pilot with many months of action at the front started to lose his "edge" or was judged "fatigued" by his unit MD, he got reassigned to a training unit as an instructor or to a desk job until he was ready to return to combat, which seemed to be anything from a couple of months up to a year or so. This is easy to see and verify in the career postings for Luftwaffe pilots. Of course there were some who just kept going, but they were a minority. What the Luftwaffe did not have was a mission limit imposed from above like the USAAF had. I can't speak for the RAF.
