Re: Total Luftwaffe Losses in WWII?
Andreas,
Thanks for the answer. I think you get some of my points in wrong way. I have no intention to accuse somebody of something and speculate in the lack of documents. My point is to get closer to the real image and figures.
As regards to German trophy documents, I, as the majority of other researchers in Russia have to admission to that staff and all I post here or trying to find via personal messages is found in being dispersed through thousands of copies open documents. The core is hidden from me. This is the matter of politics and it is useless to talk it over here.
That is why i'am asking questions on how German system of registering losses worked, how they dealt with spare parts, damaged planes, exhausted gliders, report losses etc. I have clear image on how the system worked in the VVS during the war and have less info from the opposite side, while oftenly I face questions on were the losses reported correctly without any deliberate amendments, and I can not answer them for sure, having lack of knowledge on the topic.
As regards to Soviet side, central information was compiled and we have general figures, while at the same time we have to check them using lower level loss reports and other documents to be sure they are 100% relevant.
