The Luftwaffe had a large and diverse number of support units involved in command and coordination, administration, communications, courier duties, logistics, training, research and development, ambulance services, search and rescue, weather reconnaissance, aircraft retrieval and salvage operations. Only a fairly small fraction were actually in the more well known operational fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, transport and ground-attack units. The book concentrates on the units that existed during the war years and does not include those from the 1930s.
