Re: Flak Unit ID's
I understand about the Flak Regiments being Flugabwehr (Regiment) abbreviated "Fla(Rgt)" [at least in english] but can find absolutely no records in any of my various books about individual units.
Plenty of info about the various Air Fleets, such as LuftFlotte 2 in 1940 consisting of three different FliegerKorps and two units called "JaFu" (Fighter Commands?) with individual Corps such as VIII Fliegerkorps with two KG (medium bomber) squadrons, four StG (dive bomber) squadrons, two LG (training) squadrons and three JG (fighter) squadrons. I have found the squadron designations in more than one reference. What I cannot find is the designations of the Flak batteries. For instance, Is it "3rd Heavy Battery/2nd Flak Regiment/VIII Fliegerkorps" ? In German of course. Also, are the searchlight batteries part of the Flak unit or seperate?
