Re: abbreviations meaning loss Luftwaffe accounts
Wnr (werk nummer) - think of it as a factory serial number that would identify aircraft type, for example an Bf 109 E1 or E3 and the company that manufactured it.
Vknz - would be an operational code. The first two letter/number combinations would identify the aircraft Geschwader, the third letter the individual aircraft and the last letter (color coded) the squadron and group within the Geschwader.
That is a pretty basic explanation.
