Re: Pre-War LW accidents Data or KIA register - exist?

I see that it seems those files are not digitalized and, if they look "almost inaccessible" for European Historians like you, it will be harder for me, from where I am, to have either a glimpse.

I am trying to contact some Halle cemiteries...maybe they do have a list of LW airmen killed between 1938 and early 1939.

As previously reported, I believe that there was a crash between a Do 11 or Do 23 and another training machine....or between 3 training machines (with 2 Aviators each). The photo I do have do show 6 coffins being Honored on the main Hangar of Halle-Saale, with families, LW personnel, etc....before the 2nd WW.

Period may be 1938-mid 1939...To loose one or two in training is normal in most Air Forces, but to loose 6 in a single accident may have been a sad date to record...Maybe the Cemiteries do have such an entry recorded....I shall try anyway to find more about this accident.
