Re: X Fliegerkorps Units

KG 53 was subordinated to IX. Fliegerkorps/Luftflotte 2 through May 1941.


Gen.Kdo. Fliegerkorps IX
(FpN: L 32688)
Formation. (Nov 40)
Formed on or about 16 November 1940 at Blomendaal/Holland by renaming and expanding Stab/9. Fliegerdivision, and assigned to Luftflotte 2. The first reference to the change in designation in KTB/OKW did not occur until 23 October 1940. Although taking part to the fullest extent in conventional night bombing operations, IX. Fliegerkorps specialized in anti-shipping and mine laying in the Channel and in the North Sea. From June 1941 it was the only Fliegerkorps in the West until 1944. Under Luftflotte 3 from June 1941 to 1944.[1]
