Re: Luftwaffe combat sorties ratio West : East

Hello Nick,

thank you!
I'll see if I can find 1945. The data itself is interesting, but for 1945 it doesn't tell us anything about the ratio West:East, as at least from mid-January onwards part of the "Western" Luftwaffe was used in the East. Even the night fighters were used as ground attack planes.

1944 is interesting.
I don't know if some Lfl. Reich units were engaged in the East at the end of the year.

I corrected the December 1944 ratio in the previous post, as I missed the Reichsgebiet in my haste, sorry. The East:West ratio in December was more than 1.5:1. Given the offensive in the Addennes, this is not surprising.
In the other ratios (1944 as a whole and January-February 1945) the Reichsgebiet is accounted for.

Best regards,
Andrey
