My loss/damage figures for Bf 110s from 10th May to 25th May include those in the far north of Europe, not involved in the Western Camapign.
Even allowing for a certain number being under service on 10th May (and therefore not 'combat-ready'), the statement of 40% losses is simply wrong. 140 Bf 110 losses, or thereabouts, is totally incorrect.
OKW figures of 12 October 1940 include for Zerstörer:

Serviceable 10 Aug: 375
Serviceable 10 Oct: 174
Paper establishment: 448
Net change: -201

These figures are attached to one of the Lagemeldung West daily reports at German Docs in Russia (TSAMO) but I neglected to note which one, and can I find the blasted thing again … ?
