Re: Announcement of Luftwaffe Losses by OKW?
German losses were rarely publicized because of the obvious fallout created by official casualty figures. the only way the German public realized their armed forces were suffering high losses(especially after the opening of Barbarossa) were the black bordered death notices in the daily papers. From this point on the German public began to grow alarmed at the heavier losses and there were 'official' measures taken to censor these death notices.
Hope this helps. I'm sure other members will have more detailed info. Regards Bulldog. |
