At the same time Kammhuber continued to press for a new dedicated nightfighter design, eventually selecting the Heinkel He 219 "Uhu" after seeing it demonstrated in 1942. However Milch had decided to cancel the "Uhu", and conflict arose between the two. As a result, in 1943 Kammhuber was transferred to "Luftflotte 5" in Norway, in command of a handful of outdated planes. After the reorganization of the "Luftwaffe" in Scandinavia and the dissolution of "Luftflotte 5", he became commanding general of the "Luftwaffe" in Norway (September–October 1944). In 1945 Kammhuber was re-appointed to command of the night fighters, at this point a largely ceremonial position considering the state of the Third Reich at that time.
