Re: Suffix "Er" With GQM returns

Hi,

I assume that the really background of this percentage system is economic and resource situation in Germany. We need remember that the Germany have very limited resources in compare with west ally and USSR.

Threfore the germans try to use there resources so economical as possible. From this point of view the damage percent did't show how easy to repair the plane but how much from the plane (or material) could used again. Then is easy to explain, why is total loss over own territory should be noted as 99%: the rest of aluminium could be saved and used again.

Best regards
