Re: Luftwafffe pilot rotation
Both posts by Brian Bines and Boomerang are correct. Pilots also got Weihnachts-Urlaub (Christmas leave), Hochzeits-Urlaub (wedding leave), Beerdigungs-Urlaub (funeral leave), etc., so there were a number of opportunities to get away from it all. But I think these opportunities, including the rest homes, became increasingly restrictive as the war wore on and the need for the pilots at the front increased.
