Hello

Thanks for posting the link. Though going under Verzeichnis or power up the search
criteria one can find only political documents . For example I inserted word " Luftwaffe "
no search results . Is this an aviation related data base or do I need to enter Russian
characters to get specific results ?

There are some Luftwaffe related folders already digitised:
Findbuch 12454 - Heeresgruppe B/Mitte Akte 334
Findbuch 12454 - Heeresgruppe B/Mitte Akte 375
Findbuch 12454 - Heeresgruppe B/Mitte Akte 385

That's right, Andrei. I have visually scanned through all the folders over the last week and those three Akten from the H.Gr. Mitte collection are the only ones with significant Luftwaffe material, e.g., Kräfteverteilung d. Flakartillerie 9.8.41, Lw.-Kdo. Ost Kriegsgliederung 30.5.42, Lw.-Kdo. Ost Kriegsgliederung 16.8.42, Lw.-Kdo. Ost Kriegsgliederung 26.8.42, etc. The same 3 folders are also chuck full of documents on the Aufklärungsverbände on the Central Sector of the E.F. as well as Luftwaffe daily reports and unit movements. The OKW and OKH collections have very little Luftwaffe material at all, much less good "stuff" of interest.

I understand that this digitization project at TSAMO is just getting started and that there should be a lot more material available soon. Is that your understanding, too?

Andrei - Thanks

Larry , you are absolutely right, the project is on infancy
and I don't see at the moment real relevant stuff . The
material I am searching at TzaMO is not for free and in my
case I've lost time and money and didn't get a thing . More
interesting are the Luftwaffe Archiven Freiburg i.B

Yes, it is stated that the whole collection of German documents held in TsAMO would be digitised by 2018

Yes, there is an exhibition in local aviation museum, which when I visited it quite a long time ago consisted of some photographs and scale models. And there is also a small memorial in Poltava. Not much, but better then nothing

Will all of the documents detailing soviet losses in air combat also be digitised...? That we may have a soviet equivalent to Chorley's Bomber Command Losses, Frank's Fighter Command Losses and Hey & Bishop's 8th and 9th AAF Losses....?
Some people (not me of course...) would give their eye teeth for that...
