Oberbefehlshaber Süd

The Commander in Chief South (German: Oberbefehlshaber Süd - OB Süd) was a high-ranking position in the Luftwaffe of Nazi Germany. All Luftwaffe units based in the Mediterranean and North African theatres of World War II fell under this command.

The command was subordinate to the Comando Supremo, the Italian high command. OB Süd was also the commander of Luftflotte 2.

After the Armistice of Cassibile, the position of Oberbefehlshaber Süd was superseded on 16 November 1943 by Oberbefehlshaber Südwest, which remained to be Albert Kesselring.
