SIG (special interest group) Luftwaffe in Norway

[Richard T Eger]

Olve Dybvig's site contains a wealth of information and it is not just restricted to Norway. The index to the site can be found at http://home.online.no/~odybvig/.

As of today, here are the main holdings of this site:

Luftwaffe Organization in Norway in May 1945


Monthly strength of all Luftwaffe units

Based on documents from the BA/MA - Freiburg, current data covers 1/44, 11/44, & 12/44, with clearly the promise of more to come. Note, this is for all Luftwaffe units, not just those in Norway.


RLM Aircraft Production in 1944

Based on NARA microfilm T-177, reel no. 42, data is given for new aircraft production for 1/44, 2/44, & 3/44 based on RLM procurement programme 225.


Truppengliederung des Lfl.Kdos 5 (order of battle)

This does appear to be restricted to Norway.


Luftwaffe Losses in Norway

1940 to 1945, plus a separate listing for Fw 190A.


Profiles

Actually not profiles in the strictest modeler interpretation, these are isometric color drawings with brief descriptions of the specific aircraft covered. Both Axis and Allied aircraft are presented. The thread tying them all together is that the aircraft were related to Norway in WW II.


Links

A miscellaneous collection of links. This is not the strongest element of the site.


Fliegerhorste in Norway

A map is presented of the airfields in Norway, along with a cryptic 1-line description. There are a handful of photos presented.


Weserubung

List of Luftwaffe & Heer units under operation Weserubung.


Photos

Photos of Luftwaffe aircraft in Norway.


Books about Nordic area

Extensive listing with brief description of each.


Heinkel 115 in Norway

Extensive article.


Regards,
Richard

OOB/TOE oct 44 around Kirkenes
Sat Jan 12 13:03:07 2026


Hi everybody,
I´m looking for the OOB and TOE of LW units that participated in the battle of Kirkenes-Petsamo oct 44. I have found two fighter units III,IV/JG5 and their TOE on the site but I´m having much trouble find out the rest. I have sources stating that it should be around 160 planes of wich approx. 80 where fighters. I have confirmed the amount of fighters but cannot find the other typs of planes and ther unit designations.

One more question. If anybody out there have the TOE of the 7th Air Army (the opposing force) for the same period I would be very grateful.

Regards
Pelle

Many Thanks

This site listed both Wnr and pilots names. I don't know if the pilots died or survived, but they aren't listed on the volksbund site. That is not a proof of survival.

Hi Andy!

If you don't already know this there is a web forum that is specifically about the Air War in the North with JG5 in Norway and Finland. The guys on that board really know that unit's history so you might post there. Their address is http://pub95.ezboard.com/bwwiiairwaroverthenorth

Hope that helps!

Horst,

See link below:-

http://www.luftwaffe.no/SIG/Losses/tap40.html
This gives units, % damage etc and is a starting point.

Also have a look at Shores - Fledgling Eagles (Grub Street)

Thanks a lot, Andy.
I already knew the SIG lists.
The only problem is, that specially Oslo losses
are mostly without aircraft specifics, i.e. serials.

The reason for the sparsome info on my homepage is because we dont know more (so far)

Olve,
I would never had thought, that you keep something in the back ;-))
What is the reason, why there is so little info on the German losses at Fornebu? I found drawings with the crashed Ju52 locations marked at Fornebu, however nothing about the concrete aircraft (tailsign, serials).

Continue your great work at luftwaffe.no!
It was very helpfull for me during the setup
of my Hugo Junkers Homepage / Production List Section.

Thanks a lot,
Horst

Hello Horst

The main reason is crappy report system during the early of 1940. But we are working on this topic

One day !!!!!!!!!!!!!
