New example of remarkable discrepancy between different German sources:
It is a fragment of German report about Soviet aviation activity 23.Jun.42:
http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/attach...1&d=1432415534
Among victims of the bombing of Bryansk airfield are listed the following FW189:
1 - 90%, 1 - 70%, 4 - 50%, 1 - 30%. In all 7 FW189 with damages 30% or higher.
GQM returns:
23 June during the bombing of Bryansk airfield:
w/n 0197 from 2.(H)/13 - 70%
w/n 2193 from 2.(H)/13 - 60%
w/n 2192 from 2.(H)/13 - 30%
All in all
3 instead of 7 losses.
Also, for comparison with “Flugzeugbestand und Bewegungsmeldungen”:
26 June w/n 2187 from 2.(H)/13 - 25% without enemy action.
So in GQM returns for June 4 FW189 with damages 25-70%
July GQM returns for 2.(H)/13:
9 July w/n 2111 - 25% due to enemy action
18 July w/n 0072 - 25% without enemy action
19 July w/n 0154 - 20% due to enemy action
All in all 3 FW189 with damages 20-25%
“Flugzeugbestand und Bewegungsmeldungen” for 2.(H)/13:
June 1942: 2 losses due to enemy action
July 1942: 3 to Überholung (overhaul)
It looks like two most damaged FW189 were written off and maybe 3 other were sent to Überholung in the next month, and the rest were repaired within the unit
Anyway for June losses of 2.(H)/13, from minimum 8 FW189 with damages 25-90% only half (4) are listed in GQM returns.
50% are missed.
