Many thanks for your help with a very complex situation.
I suspect that the time-line is this;
20 July Koller with Luftflotte 3
22 or 24 July Korten dies and Koller returns
25 July-2 August Koller is acting chief-of-staff but Goering is in real control (Hitler still recovering so could not counter-balance him). This would partly explain why Fliegerkorps IV (so-called strategic bombing command) was withdrawn (Koller was supporter, Goering was not and fuel shortages provide perfect explanation)
2 August Kreipe appointed
31 August Oberst Eckhard Christian becomes new head of operations and Koller pushed into Fueher's Reserve.
Incidentally, checking Bergstroem's Russian-front book Bagration to Berlin Appendix 1, I was surprised to see the He 177s of KG 1 were not under Meister's Fliegerkorps Iv but under Greim's Luftflotte 6. As the British comedian Max Miller used to obser :"Now, there's a funny thing."
