The "Luftwaffe" regrouped after the Battle of France into three "Luftflotten" (Air Fleets) . "Luftflotte" 2, commanded by "Generalfeldmarschall" Albert Kesselring, "Luftflotte" 5, led by "Generaloberst" Hans-Jürgen Stumpff was based in Norway and "Luftflotte" 3, under "Generalfeldmarschall" Sperrle. "Luftflotte" 2, whose units were based in northern Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France north of the Seine, would be concerned mainly with the area east of a line from Le Havre through Selsey Bill to the Midlands; "Luftflotte" 3, based in western France, would deal similarly with objectives west and north-west of that line. Each "Luftflotte" was to attack shipping off its own stretch of coast. Diversionary attacks, intended to draw off part of the defences from the south, would be made on north-east England, south-east Scotland and shipping in adjacent waters by "Luftflotte" 5 from Norwegian and Danish airfields.
