Tips for Searching Website www.luftwaffe.cz
 

Hello folks,

I am just passing on the following information that may assist in your searching. The website that I do most of my research on is www.luftwaffe.cz. If you go to this site and click on Experten this will give you the names of Luftwaffe Pilots and if you click on their site you will get a list of their claims. There are too many sites to search individually for a particular item. Things like Date/s, Squadrons, Aircraft types, Areas, Forces, and Names etc. It should be noted that all these searches must be followed by site:www.Luftwaffe.cz the word “site” must be included in the search and there must be no space between : and www. Example searches are in red


12.9.1944 This searches incidents that occurred on the 12th September, 1944 Dates are entered Day.Month.Year. Single digit numbers are entered As single digits. 9 is entered as 9 and not 09. Years must be entered in full

USAAF Searches listings and shows USAAF where it occurs Other Forces such as RAF, RAAF, RCAF, RNZAF, SAAF etc may also be searched

Lancaster Searches for Lancaster losses. Other Aircraft types may also be searched

Germany Searches areas where Aircraft are lost. Other locations can be checked

42-31125 Will search for USAAF Aircraft No. 42-31125. Naturally other numbers can be entered I have been unable to find how to do partial number searches MACR’s show that correct # in this example should be 42-31135

“Suzy Sagtitz” Will search for the Aircraft name “Suzy Sagtitz” Other names may be searched

POW Show lists of POW’s. Names not always listed.

OW-O Lists Aircraft Squadron Number. Other numbers can be checked
