Luftwaffe Aircraft Loss Reports?

How do I find Luftwaffe Aircraft Loss Reports? I could also use the correct German spelling for these reports as well. I've been to the US Archives, but have had no luck. TIA, Mike |

Lt Hudson Packard (parents had sense of humor) chased a "Do 217", last seen in 45 degree dive as both went into cloud deck.. Packard KIA and crashed at Mieste.. OS-I 357FS/355FG None of the four 355FG Mid Air collisions with German fighters resulted in either a claim or award as the pilots were KIA without witness. Thank You! |
