True, but the survey work for Bardufoss and Banak was carried out by personnel from Luftgaukdo. Norwegen's Bauamt and the regional Lw.-Bauamt at Trondheim. They had civilian ranks, e.g., Reg.Bau-Inspekteur, etc., but they were Luftwaffe civilian employees. It could be that they relied on the geological survey work done by the Norwegians before the war because both of those airfields already existed prior to the arrival of the Luftwaffe in fall 1940.
