CONCLUSIONS
107
6. At the outset of an operation, depending on the
considered need for such' use, a certain number of AA
guns may be assigned to AT or other artillely roles.
7. The Chief of the German Air Force is responsible
for the air defense of Germany and the important areas
of occupied countries. This responsibility is carried
out through subordinate air territorial districts and
special defense commands, all of which contain sufficient fighter aviation, AA artillery with searchlights
and barrage balloons, and necessary aircraft-warningservice units to effect a carefully coordinated AA
defense.
8. The outstanding feature of the German air defense is the coordination effected by unity of command.
All of the means in any single air defense, including
fighter aviation, AA artillery, warning services, and
civil defense organizations are under one commander,
who is alone responsible for the accomplishment of the
mission.
