I'm planning my first WWII "rail dio" and I have a question re: the flak crews assigned to protect rail shipments, and that is:

Were the flak crews assigned to man the flak guns on rail shipments predominantly Heer, or Luftwaffe crews, or were they a "mixed bag" depending on the nature of the train's cargo?

Thanks!

As far as I know, all Flak guns were manned by Luftwaffe units...

Are you specifically referring to Flak guns on trains? If not, your statement certainly isn't correct.
