Re: Defence of the Reich: Female Fighter Controllers?

At the beginning of World War II, there were approximately 70,000 soldiers serving in the Air Intelligence Corps. This figure increased to 243,000 by May 20, 1941, and to 500,000 soldiers by the summer of 1944. Women were also enlisted for service, especially within Germany, for example at the Jägerleitdienststellen.
The various Luftgaue saw tremendous service of Luftwaffenhelferinnen and Luftwaffennachrichtenhelferinnen.
Many women were indeed employed in the Jägerleitdienst as what you call today Jägerleitoffizier.
If you insert "Jägerleitdienst Frauen" or a similar search using the term Jägerleitdienst you will find a vast amount of references to include literature
