Unit gains and losses

Gentlemen,

What did the Luftwaffe call their monthly strength reports (unit, a/c type, and numbers assigned at beginning and end of each month)? I came across these online somewhere and now I can't locate.

Thanks ahead,

aldo

Hello Aldo

Re: Unit gains and losses

Can any German speakers translate these headings from the reports?

"Feindeinw"

"von andere Verbände"

Thanks again

Re: Unit gains and losses

Hello Aldo,

"Feindeinw" would be "Feindeinwirkung", meaning "enemy action"
"von andere Verbände" means "from other units"

regards,
Tomislav

If you're worried about the grammar, I think it's "von anderen Verbänden" (you add -n in a dative plural: I remember that much from school!)

Thanks for the help, Babelfish was having difficulties with those two.
