Re: Luftwaffe term?

I don't suppose it's typical but in ULTRA when Luftflotte 2 is announcing its intentions for the following day, it usually warns the fighters and SG 4 to be at 30 minutes' or an hour's readiness from first light.

I'm sure that shorter periods would have been ordered in response to moves by the opposing forces on the day itself.

The Stab JG 77 KTB for January–July 1944 only mentions Sitzbereitschaft.
