Luftflotte 4 losses Apr.-Jun.1943: a comparison of the different data

[Andrey Kuznetsov]

A case probably useful for understanding the procedure for listing of losses in GQM returns.

On 29.Sep.42 the pilot Heinz Welzel (I./StG77) was wounded by fire from the ground. In the GQM return this case was included only on 18.Dec.43, more than a year after the event (RL2-III/1196 Blatt 60). No info was written about the plane. However, on 3.Mar.44, another 2.5 months later, info was written: Ju87D-1 WNr 2568, 60% damage (i.e. the aircraft was to be written off).

There are quite a few cases where losses were entered many months later, and almost always several cases were entered at once, usually (or always?) with reference to Vordruck II. As I understand it, such additions arose as a result of some sort of reconciliation of flight personnel losses within the Genst.Gen.Qu.6.Abt., and aircraft data was entered in passing. But in this case the 6.Abt. didn't stop there, but apparently requested the info about the plane somewhere, and received it 2.5 months later.

It's possible, though, that it was somehow different.
Question: is there any info about the plane in the NVM report of I./StG77 containing info about Welzel's wounding? And when was this report written?

Best regards,
Andrey
