Help with Word Definition
This rarely encountered word is Jagen. The internet and German military dictionaries says it means a sub-sector of forest, but in a purely Luftwaffe context in may mean something else. On 25.07.44 Luftwaffe Major (d.R.) Dr. Otto Schmidt (DOB: 23.03.85) and another Luftwaffe Major of almost the same age were reported KIA. The Luftwaffenpersonalamt records state that Maj. Schmidt was the Führer of Jagen 108. Could this also be a rarely used short-form designation for Jagdfliegerschule? There was a JFS 108 at Bad Vöslau/Austria. So what did "Jagen" mean in Luftwaffe terminology?
Any help most appreciated.
