Werner Moelders' Title - Inspekteur der Jagdflieger

[Stormfighter]

I have a question concerning Oberst Werner Moelders' title. From 6 August 1941 to 15 September 1941, his official title was Inspekteur der Jagdflieger (Inspector of Fighters). This title, according to a reliable Luftwaffe reference, was renamed as General der Jagdflieger on 16 September 1941. As everyone knows, Moelders was killed in a plane crash on 22 November 1941 and at his state funeral, Goering appointed Galland to succeed him. Here is my question: Has anyone ever seen a wartime document, newspaper or magazine article that names Moelders' position as General der Jagdflieger? Even his official death notice names him as the Inspekteur der Jagdflieger. Again, I am curious to know if anyone has ever seen an original wartime document calling him the General der Jagdflieger. As soon as Galland took office, he indeed used the title General der Jagdflieger which I can support through documents I acquired at the Bundesarchiv in Freiburg. If anyone has the answer to this question, please e-mail me at Feldpost@aol.com

Thanks in advance!
