GQM Verluste und Unfälle.

[Lennart Andersson]

A question for you who are familiar with this material: Were all Luftwaffe losses listed in these reports? I have been trying to find Junkers G 38 GF+GG which, according to ‘common knowledge’, was destroyed in an attack by RAF Wellingtons (148 Squadron) on Athens-Tatoi on 17 May 1941. I have checked Volume 2 (RL 2-III/753) 1 January to 31 May 1941, and volume 3 (RL 2-III/754) 1 June to 31 July 1941. There are a lot of Benachrichtigungen and late entries from the earlier period in Vol 3, but still no G 38. The only losses at Athens on 17 May that are listed are one Ju 52 at ‘Athen’, four Ju 52 at ‘Athen-Kalamaki’ and an Hs 126 at ‘Athen-Tatoi’. Any suggestions?

Hello,

there is also:
RL 2-III/781 Tägliche Verlustmeldungen.- Flugzeugunfälle bei Schulen und sonstigen Dienststellen (Entwürfe) Bd. 1 3. Sept. 1940 - 2. Nov. 1941

Unfortunately not (yet?) available online. I also have no idea about it contents.

Hello Andrus,

It is the same source: one batch of files lists all the losses with first line combat units, the other batch lists all the losses of non combat units (schools etc.).

Best regards, Marcel
