any help with this elusive matter will be greatly appreciated, thanks

Hi,
On this site http://www.ww2.dk/ you will find "Flugzeugbestand und Bewegungsmeldungen" listed unit by unit for each month. A lot of data and a bit messy, when you are done please share the result .

Hi.

Regarding the question if Luftwaffe loss records are missing after 1944, the answer is yes and no...

Data to use for statistical analysis is available, the detailed loss information like Werknummern and aircraft types are harder to come by.

But to make something useful out of this is hard work.... and quite tedious.

I am just about to finish the work on the Luftwaffe fighter arm with regards to losses sustained in 1944, listed by unit, date and loss reason.

Regards,
Andreas

There is a detailed statistical summary of missions, losses, etc. by theater which runs through, IIRC, 44 through February 45. I will see if I can find which drawer it is in.

Best regards,
