Re: Is there any evidence the 1944 losses were ever captured?
Thinking further about things, it does very much seem as if the losses were captured intact to end 1943. Looking at the documentation it does all appear to be part of the same distribution set,although it's not always entirely obvious when looking at the copies. The 1945 losses appear to come from a different distribution set and reference back to the ADI(K) Captured German Document lists in AIR 40/1182 confirm five different references to captured 1945 losses - 140/74, 143/76, 151/33, 152/54 and 153/82 - and as confirmed in first post not a single reference to 1944 losses. The lists themselves aren't dated but it would seem these date to late 1945. I should also add that that these are all annotated as having been sent to A.I.12 from whence I assume they made their way to AHB.
