'Namentlichten Verlustmeldung' (NVM)

[Richard Mills]

This might be a long shot...........

As a researcher of Luftwaffe document groupings, I frequently find myself cross refering the dates of death for fllying personnel, on occasion as a result of a slight discrepency in between the Wehrpass and the supporting documents.

Is it possible that someone can point myself in the right direction to obtain access to the 'Namentlichten Verlustmeldung' (NVM) to aid in the ongoing research work?

Any help whatsoever really will be very well received. Hopeful in anticipation.

Regards Richard.

The "Namentliche Verlustmeldungen" of all Army, Airforce and Navy units hold by the WASt "Wehrmachtsauskunfststelle" in Berlin Germany.

So today due to the law they changed the handling, only next of kind will get informations about this documents.

But a lot of people before the 80´s got copy´s of NVM´s so a lot of stuff around the world.

It depends what ones you are after. I have a number but doubt whether they would help your research. Unfortunately, WASt stopped sending photocopies of the NVMs some time ago due to the reasons stated earler

In this instance I am in particular looking for details of a Bf-110 of the Stab/ZG26 lost on 21-February-1944 over Braunschweig.

The Bf-110 was crewed by Lt Karl Axterer and Fw Siegfried Raddatz.

Any additional information on the machine or any other facet of the loss will be very well received indeed.

Hopeful in anticipation.

Regards Richard.

Matti thank you very much for your help with this, it is much appreciated indeed.

Is it worth asking the question whether the identity of the USAF pilot who shot this aircraft down can be researched and indentified?

I am also looking for any details of the machine flown by the same crew and the same unit on 11-December-1943, where I gather from Raddatz's Flugbuch, the aircraft suffered an engine fire?

Any help as always will be very well received indeed.

Regards Richard.
