From 12 O'clock High!:
Ken Merrick Operational Orders Sat Nov 25 06:04:21 2024 Hi, looking for any leads to where I might find copies of Luftwaffe operational orders. The only one that I have ever come across was in Appendix 6 of Cajus Bekker's old book 'The Luftwaffe War Diaries' Orders of battle are now turning up in bigger numbers fortunately but actual operational orders are still a missing and vital link. Any clues will be gratefully appreciated. Ken

Nick Beale Operational orders Sun Nov 26 17:44:06 2024 Quite a few turn up as Ultra decrypts but usually from Luftflotte or Division level so there is not much detail: "all fighter units at 30 minutes readiness from first light for free lance patrols of beach head; reconnaissance units, tasks as before", that sort of thing.

K. Merrick Operations orders Tue Nov 28 02:08:17 2024 Nick, Thanks. I suspected this would be a dead end. Fragments like that could be useful but I am trying to find actual orders from HQ level. Something that sets out the plan of attack with units and times and heights over target etc. I will put it on my wish list for Xams! Ken
