Wetterdienst - German Weather Service During NS Period

Post by ra stefanowicz »

Does anyone have any info at all about the national German weather service during the NS period? Who did it report to, who led the organization, was it totally subordinate to the Luftwaffe or did it remain independant? Did it have any particular uniform markings? I have found almost nothing on this topic so far?? :roll: :oops:

Think the NS and especially Göring put their/his stamp on this one right from the start!
Reich Security... :D

Go to the civil servants (almost bottom) and see the career of Ministerialdirigent Dr. Richard Habermehl!

This is what the German wiki says about: Reichsbehörden und Spitzenämter
das Reichsamt für Wetterdienst (Februar 1933 bis November 1934: Reichsamt für Flugsicherung)

Hello everyone

Correct me if I am wrong, but I recall somewhere that the German Wetterdienst were the last Wehrmacht unit to surrender, in August 1945!..Somewhat they were forgotten as they were located in one of the islands on the Artic

ANymore info on this?

Thanks
