Hello T:
Based on K.Mehner and R. Teuber " Die Luftwaffe 1939-1945 ":
-Luftflotte 5
Oberbefehlshaber ( Term "Chef "not mentioned) 10.May 1940 - 27. Nov.1943 Gen.Oberst J.Stumpff;
-Luftflotte 1-additional Befehlshaber Ost Chef/Oberbefehlshaber 20.Aug.1940 - 12.Jun.1943 Gen.Oberst A.Keller.
Tessin agrees with Mehner and Teuber on Luftflotte 5 but not on 1 . For Luftflotte 1 Gen.d.Fl.G.Korten was in command during the timespan you requested.

Hello Bernhard,
Thank you very much for your information. This helps a lot. I have this beautiful groupping to Unteroffizier Hans Schneider with 4 documents signed by each of the below (EK1 and EK2). I will try to take some scans and post them here if anybody is intrested.
Thanks again

Luftflotte 5 means Norway and that's my 'patch' so i at least would be very interested to see what you have.Here's an example of a Stumpff signed EKI from my own collection
