Facing the difficulties of a multiple front war Germany took excess personal from other branches of the Wehrmacht in order to fill the gaps at the front. Luftwaffe Squads were a product of this. These were created due to a systemic manpower shortage in Germany, a lack of fuel for planes, and an excess of support personal in the Luftwaffe. They were poorly trained and poorly equipped for combat.
History
As losses mounted in the Eastern Front, the Heer (Regular Army) requested that the Luftwaffe transfer surplus personnel to bolster their manpower. Herman Göring, the head of the Luftwaffe, refused and instead ordered the formation of Luftwaffe Field Divisions that would be solely under his command. These hastily-raised infantry divisions were given only rudimentary training and suffered from equipment shortages. As a result, their performance was poor when they entered battle against Soviet forces. Some divisions were utterly destroyed, and those that were not wiped out were placed under the Heer's jurisdiction. By the time the Western Allies invaded Normandy, all the remaining Luftwaffe Field units were part of the Heer and assigned to defensive duties.
Tactics & Tips
- Luftwaffe Units are arguably the best units for manning fallen emplacements and weapons, due to their cheap costs.
- Use the Luftwaffe advanced repair wisely, keep them off the front lines and repairing damaged vehicles.
- They are around as effective as a Volksgrenadier squad.
