Hi Stig,

One of Doug's jobs was to reconcile the Kommandeure looking for duplication, the holding of two positions at once, etc. So I hope he sees this and is able to offer some additional comments. Unfortunately, errors and oddities like this get into the manuscript because they exist in previously published works and now it is impossible to figure out which one of 2, 3 or 4 choices it is. This happens in documents, too. An LPA order is issued appointing so-and-so to a position, but several days later the appointment is canceled by telephone so the researcher is left in the dark. There is not, and never will be, a 100% accurate, detailed, wide-ranging history of the Luftwaffe or component thereof. One does one's best and then prepares to take the heat.
