Re: Er

Jim. Of course Nick, RT and Adreas are correct.

The abbreviation ´Er.´ appears in Luftwaffe loss records (f.e. 08.10.1940) and is explained: ´Ersatz notwendig, d.h. Flugzeug kann mit Truppenmitteln nicht wieder hergestellt werden´ (loosely translated ... Spare parts needed and can not be handled/repaired with Luftwaffe in-the-field equipment and or needing an repair at factory level).
