I'm wondering. I was reading a bit on LF 5 and LF 6 and it appeared that at least 1 group or a squadron from K.G. 4 appeared under command of one of these. I am therefor speculating that above K.G. level, the "luftflotte"s would move the KGs around from one LF to another per operational demand, and even individual groups and squadrons. I have no evidence of this, only indications.

EDIT. AktungBBY's post (#18) links to a page that states the German airforce was under LF 5 from mid August 1940, and that under LF 5 was K.G. 26 which to my recollection was based further north around Trondheim (could be wrong as they could very well have used airfields acattered around elsewhere). The same page mentions K.G.4 but not under LF 5 specifically.
