Re: I have just written a new analysis of Luftwaffe resource distribution - it is on Michael Holm's website
Nick, I have arrived here with considerable respect for the knowledge of forum members, including those who have made contributions above, so I will take your remarks to heart.
To return to the subject of my study, I invite those particularly interested in the relative significance of operations on different fronts to consider "Table 13. Losses of Luftwaffe aircrew and aircraft to operational causes, 22.06.1941 to 01.01.1944, by front", on page 27 of my study. I do not mean to suggest that this one table, or my work as a whole, can answer all questions. What I would like to highlight is that I have adduced evidence from archival sources which will be of considerable interest to many. As far as I am aware, the total losses of Luftwaffe aircraft on all three fronts (Western Front, Mediterranean and East) have never been presented in this way in print.
Kind regards,
Dan
