"Perhaps we should write a short TL about the effect of a prioritized air defense of Germany and extra Flak Towers in major target areas?"
Wiking sugested this on a German SAMs thread. Here's my "Chalenge accepted" rally call.
Basic idea is that, during the cooperation with the USSR phase, the Germans picks up the soviet concept of a dedicated Air Defence force, integrating AA and interceptors. This is activated in 1934 independently from the LW, therefore protecting it from that service many shortcommings. It evolves into a large force, controling three main elements:
> EW&C network (land based radars, etc)
> AAA force (tactical AA stays with the Army, not LW)
> Interceptor force, with dedicate bases and aircraft.
This is intended as a cooperative thread, with all sugestions welcome. I'll try and get a bit more serious this weekend, by I'll start with one, we mighthave found the perfect home for AH beloved Fw187...
Two important starting points. We need a name (how does
ProtivoVozdushnaya Oborona Strany,
PVO Strany, lit.
Anti-Air Defense of the Nation sound in German?) and a leader.
