Re: Luftwafffe pilot rotation

Did not the Luftwaffe have a ski resort that was a designated fighter pilot rest centre. I seem to remember reading that the pilots of a unit might be sent there for a short stay but by what criteria this was decided I have no idea. The only other thing I remember reading ( unless like Larry my brain cells are failing) was something about Fighter units having a kind of welfare officer (a Papa ?) who would watch out for pilots on the edge and could arrange leave/rest for an individual ,

Regards
