On the operational level the Luftwaffe was divided into Luftflotten ("air fleets"). These air fleets were self-contained units that were equipped with all types of aircraft, supply elements, maintenance staff, administration and legal departments to operate on their own. Each air fleet was responsible for a particular geographic region.
At the start of the war the Luftwaffe had four Luftflotten, each responsible for roughly a quarter of Germany. As the war progressed more air fleets were created as the areas under German rule expanded.
Luftflotte 3 was formed on February 1, 1939 from Luftwaffengruppenkommando 3 in Munich and redesignated Luftwaffenkommando West on September 26, 1944.
