As for the names of people and places, my impression is that spelling mistakes were very common whenever they put something on paper. I don't think you were excused military service if your spelling was terrible!

The one thing, Nick, where both myself and Peter Cornwell could find no errors, was on the Namentliche Verlustmeldungen. As far as I could tell, these were typed up at unit level, and as they were used to notify the next-of-kin of the loss/death/injury to a flyer, they had to be spot-on with the information submitted, which would have been held at unit level.
