“Luftzeugmeister” translates to “air weapons master” in English. In the context of the Nazi German Luftwaffe, it refers to the civilian personnel responsible for overseeing and managing the production of weapons and equipment for the air force. These individuals were often civilian technicians or experts in their fields, acting as comptrollers in weapons factories both within Germany and in occupied territories.
