Re: FD5562/45 - Beitrag zur Beschaffungsmeldung Dec 44
Hello Nick,
Good questions ! Keep also in mind that every aircraft that left the production line had to make a 'Werkflug' before the BAL accepted that plane. Only then (but by who?) it was decided where the aircraft went to. As the allocation files are found in the RL 2-III files, those decisions must have been made at the Gen.Quartermaster in the Generalstab der Luftwaffe.
Though it seems quite unlogical to produce modern aircraft (as the He219A-7 with DB603E and He219D-1 with Jumo213 were) to send these straight to the OKL Reserve, when you pass car production sites nowadays, you see the same: lots of brand new cars waiting for car sellers...
I am wondering how many He162's, Ta152's, Do335, Ar234 and Bf109K-4's were made of OKL Reserve aircraft... Perhaps we should look in the files of the Ministry of Armament, rather than Luftwaffe files.
Warm greetings, Marcel
