Even though I really should be doing something else, I became sufficiently interested in the linguistic point to look up the noun 'Jagen' and its definition, see below:

"Ein Jagen ist eine bestimmte abgeschlossene Waldfläche. Dieser Begriff eines Jagen wurde zuerst in Preußen angewandt. Jagen sind meistens durch Waldwege begrenzt und dienten der genauen Zuordnung von bestimmten Waldflächen. Alte Jagen (Walddistrikte) besaßen früher Steine mit Nummern."

Thank you, Dan History! The information about the Jagen forest sections being numbered is most interesting because, before we got to the bottom of this and settled on its Luftwaffe definition, i.e., Nachtjagdraumführer, I was certain it referred to a section of land numbered "108".

And thank you Russell and Carsten for the addition information on Major Otto Schmidt. Most appreciated.
