Re: GQM Verluste und Unfälle.

Hi, all!

I see a lot of comments regarding the omissions, amendments, and so on regarding these original records.

My suggestion is to head over to https://aviationhistorynorway.blogspot.com/

There you can find some of the explanations if you read German - a translation to English is on my to-do list.

Try to remember the following: No computers, no databases, wartime...

(btw - can you spot the gem in the report?)

BR,
Andreas B

To be pedantic, both sides used IBM/Hollerith punched card machines to store and sort data but I fear all that is lost and words on paper are all that we have now.

Re: GQM Verluste und Unfälle.

I once spent many afternoons and evenings to get through the microfilmed records, noting each loss, putting these notes into databases. Now I have to check my database with these nice and far more better readable scans

Re: GQM Verluste und Unfälle.

Well lads,

I don't know about you, but when I bought fiches from Selke some 20 years ago, I could not find a microfiche reader, so I had to cut all the fiches into thiny strips and then read them through a standard microfilm reader. And to bring them into focus was not always an easy task

Re: GQM Verluste und Unfälle.

Well, I am from before microfiche. I had to travel to Freiburg and visit Frau Müller, who probably had been a drill sergent in a former life. You could not buy photo copies. You had to hand write on a piece of paper. Frau Müller inspected you every hours to check that you only wrote with a lead pencil.
You could get three books a day - later five books. It was a looooong process.
