Re: Verl and Verw

Gentlemen,

as far as the loss lists in our series are concerned, the difference between verw. - i.e. wounded - and verl. - i.e. hurt - is that in the first case the pilot in question was wounded through enemy action, whereas in the latter he was hurt by accident or any other reason not caused by the enemy. If for instance a pilot was shot down and had to crash land and got hurt while crash-landing his aircraft, we list him as verl. - hurt -, whereas if he was hit by splinters or bullets he would fall in the category verw.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Jochen Prien
