Re: Officer Career Database
John - about 32% - 35% of all Truppenoffiziere, Offiziere der Reserve and Kriegsoffiziere who served in the Luftwaffe 1935-45. As we noted in the Introduction, we generally excluded all Leutnante and all Oberleutnante unless they held a position of authority (Staka, Stafü, Adjutant, Zugführer, etc.). The remainder we have not been able to access because it would require permission from BA-MA to photograph the LPA Karteikarten in Freiburg. They will not grant this permission because of German Privacy Act laws. All attempts to work something out with them have failed. Each officer would have to be treated individually with separate paperwork and bureaucratic approval. A process that would cost tens of thousands and take far, far longer than any of use have left.
