Hi,
The Luftwaffe victory claims system is described in the book by Morten Jessen and myself, Focke-Wulf FW 190 in North Africa, on pages 67-69. We found a source in the Bundesarchiv that gave the exact process for claiming an aerial victory. We have translated and included part of this document in the book as well.
In our next book we plan to outline the Luftwaffe claims process for attacks on enemy shipping, again with references to original German documents.
Cheers,
Andrew Arthy
