[kalender1973]

Hi,

@Ed
I assume that the records for recce units are the most precise. The recce staffel was a small unit and they have not the repairs possibilities as e.g. bomber or fighter geschwader. I know at least one case, when the losses was not reported to GQM and the planes was "leased" by IV education group(LG 1, june 1942, Helbig)
It is clear also, that the GQM losses did not used for planes replacement, there are too late for this. But with this statistic, the LW can calculate e.g. the average "life expectation" of the planes and plans there production line.

@Andreas
I would sudgest to try to verify some units as example. E.g. one figther group for the east, west, some bomber groups, recce. And than, may be we can extrapolate. Or your data are not unit specific ? Then we can make the same for one time period, e.g. for half year.

But my main problem is still available: is the part of german archiv data is not reliable or accurate??

Best regards
