Re: "... lazy people should be send to the East(front)...
The Ostfront was seen as a meat grinder, so in general any comments of being sent to the Eastern Front was tantamount to sort of a death sentence.
If Lutzow made a such a comment it would have been in that spirit.
In terms of the Air War, you might draw the conclusion that at least Lutzow did not regard the Eastern (air) Front as a cozy assignment.
OTOH, the above might be out of context and reflect a tour of duty on the ground...
Anyway up to 1944 any assignment in (north-)western europe was seen as relatively cozy compared to the Eastern Front, the Jagdwaffe in the west lived in relative luxury.
