アドルフ・ガーランド
In August 1942, Lützow was posted to the staff of "General der Jagdflieger" (General of Fighters) Adolf Galland as Inspector of Day Fighters, Eastern Area. Braatz argues that Galland's decision to appoint Lützow to this position may have been motivated by a desire to get him out of the "line of fire" from the SS and NSDAP. On 1 April 1943, Lützow was promoted to "Oberst" (colonel).
