Hide the loss of the aircraft and the crew??? Systematically?
It was a complot of commanders, engineer service, personnel branch, political officers (an independent channel of info) and osobists (2nd independent channel) of all levels?
One day some regiment lose his last aircraft but continue to report on the evening that 20-30 aircrafts are ready for action next morning?
Let's take in to account, that bulk of everyday papers, monthly reports and so on survived the war and available now. And available for the multiple cross-checking. In contrast with Luftwaffe documents, whose ~96 per cents of documents were destroyed.
