Re: Sources of Information
Drew,
As I pointed out previously, I wasn't trying to be smart, but merely trying to highlight the problems with trying to match up claims to losses. I don't know how widely read you are on the Battle of Britain, but those examples I gave are pertinent. 74 seriously overclaimed during the lunchtime engagement over the Thames estuary on 11th August. I went into great depth looking at this action, as it involved Erprobungsgruppe 210, the unit which was the subject of my first book. It drove me nuts! ZG 26's claims on 18th August are way, way, beyond the actual RAF losses. These are the kind of things you are up against when you start looking at claims/losses. However, don't give up on what you are doing - research is a wonderful thing, and you can gain great satisfaction from solving issues.
