Checking the reference Jim gave (thanks Jim!) the final paragraph on page 2 of the letter accounts for three of the missing weeks:
»Durchführung ist durch die Luftflottenkommandos bis zum 1.3.1944 and Genst.Gen.Qu.2.Abt. zu melden«
("Luftflotte Commands are to be report completion to the General Staff, Quartermaster General, 2nd Department by 1 March 1999")
All orders like this seem say "with immediate effect" (»mit sofortiger Wirkung«) in the opening paracgraph and then give the actual target date in the closing one.
