Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The German Air Force Band (Luftwaffenmusikkorps) was founded in 1958 to serve as a military band for the German Air Force. Though it was initially formed as one unit, two more were created in March 1959. The three units had garrisons in Karlsruhe, Münster, and Neubiberg.
