Hi guys

I have been given to understand that German records reveal the following losses of Luftwaffe aircraft to their own flak during the period January 1943-June 1944. Not many of these have come to my attention. Can anyone put flesh on bones?

January 1943/24
February 1943/18
March 1943/12
April 1943/11
May 1943/23
June 1943/12
July 1943/29
August 1943/35
Septmber 1943/21
October 1943/10
November 1943/14
December 1943/20

January 1944/2
February 1944/17
March 1944/5
April 1944/9
May 1944/14
June 1944/8

(grand total January 1943- June 1944 = 284

Reference: ‘Air Staff Post Hostilities Intelligence Requirements’, Section Ivi, Volume 2, Appendix III (source To Command the Sky)

Cheers
Brian
