Command of the luftwaffe in the netherlands 1945

[19JDKR45]

I would be very grateful for any help in identifying the top level of command of Luftwaffe forces, personnel, airfields etc still operational in the Netherlands in April 1945. On 7 April 1945 OB Nordwest was formed and its ground forces came under 25.Armee and naval forces under Admiral Niederlande. However, I don't know what was the equivalent level of command for the Luftwaffe. There was a Luftgau-Kommando Holland, but I believe this ceased to exist in Jan 44, well before the period I'm interested in. My thanks in advance for any help.

So late in the war, I think the only operational airfield remaining in Holland was Twente-Enschede but that was ordered to be destroyed and evacuated on 4 April 1945 (Source: ULTRA KO 79). I'm sure there would still have been a lot of Luftwaffe ground personnel remaining in the radar/reporting network and the Flak units

John,

See "Vliegvelden in oorlogstijd", Boom, Amsterdam 2009 and 2017.

Nick,
Operational airfields in the Netherlands at April 7th, 1945 were none.
Twente was in allied hands at April 1st, Havelte at April 13th, Leeuwarden at April 11th and Eelde at April 13th.
Flying units left these airfields before and in the first week of April and the non-flying units left a couple of days before the allied troops came.
