Re: Strange Luftwaffe Abbreviation

Egbert wrote as a quote from Larry's entry of 5 February:

Quote:
.... how the Wehrmacht defined and applied the term subordination. There were 4 levels of subordination: (1) administrative; (2) tactical; (3) disciplinary; and, (4) economic (i.e., for supplies, accommodations, messing, etc.). .....
I stand 100% by what I wrote, Egbert, as I have seen it written countless times in the German documents that I began working with in 1977 and still work with. But I have also seen it written many times as you have it, Einsatzliche Unterstellung and Truppendienstliche Unterstellung. This was the short form, I guess, or one of the ways was used earlier in the war and the other later in the war.
