Re: Luftwaffe intelligence
Josef Kogel took over from Schmid in October 1942, shortly after an officer on Schmid's staff was charged with being a communist spy. Schmid was caught up in the friction arising from the success of the Anglo-American bombing and came under fire over debunking the exaggerrated Luftwaffe claims. He took command of an air defence unit, sorry I don't know which one.
Kogel left the post shortly after the Schweinfurt and Peenemunde raids to be replaced by Rudolf Wodarg who was in turn replaced by Walter Kienitz.
Hope this helps,
