Re: Ju 87 losses at Tmimi airfield September 1941

Andrei

If that was the case then it sounds to me like someone had made a rather bad initial assessment of the damage, or perhaps someone was trying to gain time?

By overestimating the losses, Luftwaffe would gain some time from the Army requirements of perhaps making a dawn mission?

It would have been very foolish for anyone to make false loss reports back home, so in my mind the GQM return is pretty accurate.

Cheers
Stig
