Hi,

Colleagues,
Need information on the number of German aviation, especially fighters, in Norway in late 1944 - early 1945. If anyone has it, please help.

Hey Sergey,

check the numbers and unit allocations of Luftflotte 5 and Jagdfliegerführer Norwegen. Basically the only German day fighter unit in Norway during your period of interest was JG 5 (with Stab, II, III., IV. Gruppe, all in all about 120-150 aircraft).

Cheers,
Christian
