Daneubergian Air Force

*"Unprepared, each country fell before the might of the legendary Daneubergian Air Force."*

* - Lieutanant Gunther Schwarz, at the start of the Operation Clean Sweep.

The **Daneubergian Air Force,** (German: *Luftwaffe*, lit. 'air weapon', German pronunciation: [ˈlʊftvafə]) is the aerial branch of the Daneubergian military. The only known official deployments of the force were during the Toumarenian-Daneubergian war. Daneubergian squadrons were also covertly deployed during the Brasilistan War.

First established during the early 20th century, it became one of the most powerful air forces in the world and renowned for its many elite pilots amongst its ranks.

## *Luftgaue*

Within the Air Ministry, for administration purposes, the Daneubergian Airforce was organized into *Luftgaue* (Air Districts), based on the army's *Wehrkreis* ("military districts"). A *Luftgau* was responsible for all administrative activities, such as training, administration, maintenance, air defense, signals, recruitment and reserve personnel.

The *Generalmajor* leading the *Luftgau-kommando* of each *Luftgau* reported to the Air Ministry.

Those *Luftgaue* established within Daneuberg were numbered non-consecutively with Roman numerals.

* Luftgau I (Regensburg)
* Luftgau II (Narvik)
* Luftgau III (Großwald)
* Luftgau IV (Regensburg II)
* Luftgau V (Stralsund)
* Luftgau VI (Furstenheim)
* Luftgau VII (Wolfheim)
* Luftgau VIII (Emden)
* Luftgau IX (Ostland)
* Luftgau X (Lokerwerpen)
* Luftgau XI (Sachsen)
* Luftgau XII (Ruhr)
* Luftgau XIII (Hoffnung)
* Luftgau XIV (Fuldahafen)
* Luftgau XVII (Peenemunde)

## Stab (Airforce Designation)

The German language term ***Stab*** (literal translation: "staff") is used to designate a headquarters unit of the Daneuberg Air Force. There were *Stab* units at the level of a *Gruppe* or *Geschwader* – units that were equivalent to wings and groups in the air forces of the English-speaking world. *Stab* units directly controlled aircraft as well as controlling those belonging to subordinate units.

These command units used the mandated green "staff aircraft" colour for the third character (the individual aircraft's letter) of their alphanumeric *Geschwaderkennung* wing code, to distinguish their aircraft from the rest of air units in the same unit. The Daneubergian Air Force had their own ways of Stab Designation. The first Alphabet specifies the type of the aircraft, the number next to it is the **Geschwader's** Squadron, the third alphabet shows the *Staffel* and the Fourth Alphabet symbolizes the aircraft position. But instead if it were to be the Geschwader Stab flight, the fourth alphabet will be changed to H and the third alphabet will serve as the aircraft's position respectively.

The letters below specifies the type of aircraft used within the Daneubergian Air Force

* *Geschwader Stab* = A
* *Stab I Gruppe* ("Staff Unit, I Group") = B
* *Stab II Gruppe* = C
* *Stab III Gruppe* = D
* *Stab IV Gruppe* = E
* *Stab V Gruppe* = F

**For example:**

* Geschwader Stab Flight of the Jagdgeschwader 1 will be the following, F1 + AH (F - Fighter, 1 - 1st Squadron, A- Flight Leader, H - lit. Head of Jagdgeschwader)
* Stab Gruppe Flight of the Jagdgeschwader 1 will be the following, F1 + BA (F- Fighter, 1- 1st Squadron, B- Stab I Gruppe, A - lit. First aircraft in the Staffel)
