History
In May 1940, the "Air Defense Command Denmark" (Шаблон:Lang-de) staff was formed in German-occupied Denmark,[1]Шаблон:Rp which had been seized by Wehrmacht forces in Operation Weserübung in April 1940.[2] The initial head of the staff was Шаблон:Ill, succeeded soon after on 4 June 1940 by Alexander Kolb.[3] This staff was designated "8th Air Defense Command" (Шаблон:Lang-de) in June 1940 and sent to Hanover.[1]Шаблон:Rp Subsequently, it was deployed to the city of Bremen on 5 June 1941. Here, the 8th Flak Division was part of Luftgau XI,[1]Шаблон:Rp which by February 1944 also would contain 3rd Flak Division (Hamburg), 8th Flak Brigade (Wismar) and 15th Flak Brigade (Hanover).[4]Шаблон:Rp
