Re: German aircraft production and losses 1939-45 and RL2-VI/204

Hello Ed,

I hope to see your book someday. Will it be about Ju88 and its subsequent variants?

What might this influence have been? Why in this case could the Allies be interested in false figures? I don't see why.

Undoubtedly, not all aircraft were accounted for by the 6.Abt., and there were other problems with accounting including the losses before delivery. Major Platt himself wrote about it in the comments.

So they were counted as both REP and Umbau? If not, it doesn't seem to affect the totals.

If it's not a secret, what is the BAMA reference?
