Re: Defence of the Reich: Female Fighter Controllers?
I have never heard of a female Jagdleit Offizier and I don't think that they ever excisted. There were Luftwaffenachrichtenhelferinnen that read the Reportage and sent messages, but a Jagdleitoffizier was something quite different. A Jagdleitoffizier was trained in leading a fighter plane to its target. He was able to transform the information from Freya and Würzburg Riese to positions on a Seeburg Tisch (or other maps). A female plotter was 'just' assisting him. I have checked the files of hundred of Jagdleitoffiziere and not one of them were female.
