DISTRICTS

The LARA is a global association, open to reenactors and living historians world wide who agree to dedicate themselves to creating impressions of the men and women of the WWII Luftwaffe.  The Districts, referred to for historical purposes as Luftgaue, exist and function as chapters of the association.  Dues collected are mostly kept at the Luftgau level to facilitate the purchase of items that would benefit the Luftgau.

Each Luftgau is "commanded" by a living historian or reenactor who portrays an officer of the Luftwaffe.  Members chosen for leadership roles are very often leaders in the reenacting community and usually have real world military or civilian law enforcement experience.  Luftgau commanders are appointed by the Director.  Luftgau commanders choose and appoint their own support staffs.
