The KÃ?Â¼ Luger and its origins

Hi, Lugerdoc,

Several months ago I made a list of the Heereszeugamt (HZA) locations I could find, but didn't try to track LZA's, which were apparently always co-located on Luftwaffe bases.

FWIW, the HZA's I have (certainly not a complete list) were Kassel, Vienna, Ingolstadt, Stettin, Dachau, Spandau, and Naumburg. (There is one other on my list, but I can't read my own writing.)

I can suggest going to Google, and entering "luftzeugamt" and "LZA" and see what comes up. "Heereszeugamt" gave me a lot of stuff, mostly about HZA property being released for development (same problems as here with surplus government property), but at least providing the town names and sometimes a map; there is also some info on what each of the depots did.

(The initials are seen in German with the "Z" both capitalized and in lower case, but the search engine doesn't care.)

Jim
