Generalluftzeugmeister (GL), 1939-1945

History of the Inventory Designer: 1.2.1939 Appointment of the "General Aircraft Master", subordinate to the Secretary of State for Aviation and Inspector General of the Air Force, who was in charge of the Technical Office for the Development, Testing and Procurement of Air Force Equipment established on 17.7.1933, as well as the Supply Office in existence since 1.8.1936. At the same time, the "Amtsgruppe Industrie-Plan und Wirtschaft" was established, which from June 1939 was called the "Amtsgruppe Technische Wirtschaft und Haushalt" and from 1941 the "Industriewirtschaftsamt". In 1940/41 a planning office was created at the Generalflugmeister and on 1.3.1944 a fighter staff to increase the production of fighter planes. The Jägestab was under both the State Secretary for Aviation and the Reich Minister for Armaments and War Production, who assumed full responsibility for air force production in 1944. The office of the General Flight Attendant was dissolved on 29.7.1944. The responsibility for testing, developing and taking over the device remained with the Luftwaffe and was assumed by the Chief of Technical Air Defence (ChefTLR). In addition, the Industrial Office, now the "Economic Office", remained in existence. On 15 April 1943, the tasks of the Supply Office had already been transferred to the Chief of the Supply Department, who was subordinate to the General Aircraft Master, who described the inventory: On 17 July 1933, the Flight Technology Department of the General Aircraft Office was made independent as the Technical Office. He was responsible for the development, testing and procurement of the air force equipment. On 1 February 1939 it was subordinated to the newly appointed General Airworthiness Inspector (GL), who was subordinate to the State Secretary of Aviation and General Inspector of the Air Force, and also to the Supply Office, which had existed since 1 August 1936 and whose duties were transferred on 15 April 1943 to the Chief of Supply to the General Quartermaster. At the same time, in 1939, the Industry and Economy Section was set up under GL to carry out development and procurement contracts, to monitor prices, to set delivery conditions and to broker loans. From June 1939 it was called Amtsgruppe Technische Wirtschaft und Haushalt, from 1941 Industriewirtschaftsamt. In 1940/41 a planning office was created at GL and a fighter baton was set up on 1 March 1944 to increase the production of fighter planes. The latter was subordinate both to the Secretary of State for Aviation and to the Reich Minister for Armament and War Production, who finally assumed full responsibility for the production of the Luftwaffe, so that the office of the General Aircraft Master was dissolved on 29 July 1944, while the Inspector General of the Luftwaffe continued to exist as an independent office. Responsibility for testing, developing and taking over the device was transferred to the Chief of Technical Air Defence (ChefTLR). Characterisation of the contents: Only a few documents have survived from the staff of the General Aircraft Master and the Chief Technical Air Defence (ChefTLR). The war diary of the Chief of Technical Air Armament from 18 December 1944 to the end of the war has been preserved. In addition, there is an extensive collection of circulars and minutes of conferences by Göring, Milch, the General Aircraft Master and the Reich Minister for Armaments and War Production as well as the Hunter's Staff. Much of the overdelivery is due to technical documentation and correspondence with companies. Particularly noteworthy here are raw materials, construction and procurement programmes and tables on flight inventory. Pre-archival order: The archive material, which has only been handed down in fragments, originates from the return of files from the USA and Great Britain to the Document Centre of the Military History Research Office, from where it was handed over to the military archive in 1968.
