Hi Hans

Just as Frank says, Balss has published two books. If you look at the one you have it also says "Ergänzungen zu Personalverlusten, etc". Although as Frank says the title is different from the first one, the layout is more or less exactly the same and your book contains first of all additional information to vol 1 but also new accidents/crashes which had come to light during the intervening years. The reason Balss changed the title slightly in his vol 2 into Materialverluste instead of Personalverluste is most likely the German "bad" habit during the war NOT to mention the crew involved if not killed, wounded or missing. A large number of the accidents, if you again look in your volume, lacks all kind of crew names.

Cheers
Stig
