Fliegerhorst-Kommandantur A 217/XII - Jun-1943

[edwest2]

I have never seen this type of designation before. A little research shows that there are a number of unknown commanders out there. Example:

A look through this list, one by one, shows a number of ? (or unbekannt) instead of a name.

Hello Ed,

You are making reference to the Flughafen-Bereichskommando 2/XIII. This Oberstleutnant Landmann (or Landemann?) was most probably in charge of the Fliegerhorst-Kommandantur A 217/XII (Avord). But you are right, there are many gaps (with "?") in the listings.

All the best,
Frederic

Hello Frederic,


Part of the problem is name changes as time passed. Regarding A 217/XII, and others, first it has one name then it becomes some other name. Were all personnel retained over time? I can't tell.
