Re: Lw-losses without enemy actions!

Yes but the losses are quite there "written", to explain difference there are many explanation;
a plane could be damaged/lost many times
Luftwaffe used many foreign planes, mostly in school units
transport units quoted is a production of 3000 transport planes only the Ju52 gave 4000+ casualties without 1944..
Foreign countries appear in the losses/ rumänien, Ungarn, Italien very few../but they gen. flew german planes
Many planes lost during this period hv been built before 1939, mostly for the schools, nd from oct40 to sept 44, the losses for the schools are at least 18.000 strong with some gliders in,from jan 36 to aug.39 losses are 2.300 strong, not in the spanish conflict,...nd more to add

splitting between H/F Heimat/Feind, for 1941/1942 on roughtly 26.000 entries 27 % are H so 73 % F, but if all the H are accidents, some of the F could be also accidents, but during action.
