The German Night Fighter force had its origins in the First World
War to repel night raids and to fly long-range intruder sorties.
They developed operational procedures which became largely
forgotten a few years after the Armistice. The Western Allies,
Britain and France, maintained and improved night-fighting tactics,
but the creators of the new Luftwaffe did not at first think about
night fighting at all and during the building up of the service and
it received only cursory attention in the first large-scale war
games held in November 1934. This changed in 1936 and the results
of some exercises were set down in a secret study prepared for the
Air District school in November of that year. After the onset of
War, and the British and French night attacks on the western area
of the Reich, night-fighting became more of a priority. As a
consequence of the urgent necessity the Luftwaffe developed
sophisticated techniques including basic cooperation and
coordination and the increased use of electronic systems.Gebhard
Aders study of the History of the German Night Fighter Force is a
highly detailed analysis with numerous appendices which provides a
comprehensive account of the Luftwaffe s thoroughness right up to
the end when the hunters became the hunted. "
