They are listed as losses.... no % damage given, and in some cases the pilot was unhurt (bailed out, or the AC was destroyed on the ground).

I think that almost all of these 419 losses will be classed on the destroyed (60% damage and more) categories. Maybe some of these losses were WIA pilots returning with damaged AC, but not much. On the other hand this figure is not complete.

Another way to count will be to go to Michael Holm's Luftwaffe site and use the monthly reports of each unit that was in France at the time.
