Hooton's Luftwaffe Loss Totals - request for clarification

[Andrew Arthy]

Hi Paul,

These AHB translations are also available at the Australian War Memorial, and at NARA in the United States (Record Group 549). The AWM has the following:

- September 1939-December 1940
- January 1941-December 1941

- Western Front, 1 September 1943-31 December 1943
- Western Front, January 1944-April 1944
- Western Front, May 1944
- Western Front, June 1944
- Western Front, 1 July 1944-31 August 1944
- Western Front, 1 September 1944-30 November 1944

- Befehlshaber Mitte, 1 June 1943-31 August 1943
- Luftflotte Reich, 1 September 1943-31 December 1943
- Luftflotte Reich, January 1944-April 1944
- Luftflotte Reich, May 1944
- Luftflotte Reich, June 1944
- Luftflotte Reich, July 1944-September 1944
- Luftflotte Reich, October 1944-November 1944

- Eastern Front, 1 September 1943-31 December 1943

- Norway, 1 September 1943-31 December 1943
- Norway, 1 July 1944-30 November 1944

- Mediterranean, 1 September 1943-31 December 1943
- Mediterranean, 1 July 1944-30 November 1944

I've got a couple of them. These tables provide exactly the same information as the Summarische Verluste documents that Andreas Brekken has kindly made available on his website. However, the AHB translations summarise losses at a higher level than the Summarische Verluste documents, the latter being at a Staffel/Gruppe level, and the AHB translations at Luftflotte/theatre level.

Cheers,
Andrew A.
