Werft Abteilung 119/XI

[Peter Vrolijk]

does someone know to what Fliegerhorst Werft Abteilung 119/XI was allocated?

I believe it was in Belgium or France but if someone does know the name of the airfield then its very welcome. Thank you in advance.

(correction made, I incorectly wrote IX instead of XI

[Merlin]

There was no Werft Abteilung with such a number because a Luftgau with number IX did not exist.

Thank you Merlin, your right it has to be XI - sorry - according to Tessin the Werft Abteilungen under XI were numbered from 101 up till 131 so 119 did exist , disbanded later in the authum (november 1944). Any idea where 119/XI was stationed (I will change the original post)

I found no 119/XI. The only "119" found was:
119/XII (Rhein/Main). Could this be it?


Werftabteilungen by Luftgaukommando and Name
A total of approximately 416 Werftabteilungen were formed with an authorized allowance of 7,072 officers and Beamte, 68,640 NCOs and lower grade personnel, and 31,200 civilian employees. The following elaboration only provides the unit numbers because location information, the names of commanders and other relevant historical details are either woefully incomplete or lacking entirely. Furthermore, individual details for 416 units, even if known, would consume more space than is available or practical.
