Re: Announcement of Luftwaffe Losses by OKW?
When one compares with the loss returns to the Generalquartiermeister der Luftwaffe, it is obvious that both the OKW communiqués (in the source which Nick mentioned above) and the OKW/OKH diary ("Kriegstagebuch des Oberkommandos der Wehrmacht") gave daily Luftwaffe loss figures which were lower or much lower than the actual losses. This does not necessarily mean that the figures were deliberately false (particularly not in the case with the figures in the OKW/OKH diaries), but perhaps only preliminary and incomplete.
