Re: Total Luftwaffe losses in the East
IMHO there should be also a look at the damaged planes. The damaged losses at Eastern front were much higher as in the West. Maybe a tribute to the short flight ways. But not every plane was called damaged, was repaired, a part was indeed scrapped or used as reserve for parts so more or less a total loss.
Also not to forget, that in 1945 there were fierce dogfights over the Oder Front and Luftwaffe suffered serious losses against the soviets. About the soviet claims is to say, roughly 40.000 is the number for dogfight or air to air victories, the rest should be destroyed at the ground or where captured. |
