Luftwaffe´s Reich defence stadistic

[mijagi51]

Hello, I´m doing an investigation about the Bomber offensive against the Reich, and I need some book, chart or web with info like German factory production numbers or statistics, a statistical digest or something like that. The key is to match the production numbers with the losses numbers of the Jagdwaffe and german´s oil and armament industries.
I have the Army Air Forces stadistical digest to compare.
Any idea?
Thanks from Spain!

If hard, statistical data is what you're after, I can highly recommend Strategy for Defeat, The Luftwaffe: 1933-1945 by Williamson Murray

It's a hard read, but very informative.

The (United States Strategic Bombing Survey) USSBS is still possibly the best source for the data you are seeking. A number of the reports have been available on the web from time to time. There are several hundred individual reports, but the summary reports probably have the data you are seeking.

Best Regards,
