It was a entity of it's own sort of under the auspices of the Luft Beamte. The Navigation Corps (Nautikerkorps der Luftwaffe) was constituted in late 1938 or early 1939. All members of the corps belonged to the elevated career.

By order (LV 41. No. 1940) dated 29 November 1941 the Navigation Corps was disbanded.

A sort time span for the corps, that would be a plus for a document.

They were navigators in the bombers etc.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much Laurence for your help!! very helpfull info!!!!

could be possible that a promotion document was made after the Nautikerkorps was disbanded?? or that maybe the Nautikerkorps officials continued serving in the Lufwaffe beamte?? the document in question was dated july 1944

thanks in advance!

Hi Humberto

By order LV 41. No.1940 dated on the 29 November 1941 the navigation Corps was disbanded. Most of it's members were transferred to the status of line officers of the flying branch-in other words they wore the yellow waffenfarbe. Those who did not meet the conditions for transfer, or did not consent to status as officer were transferred to the Corps of Engineers as navigation personnel. At the end of the transfers the Navigation Corps ceased to exist.

Hope this helps
