German aircraft production and losses 1939-45 and RL2-VI/204

[edNorth]

No need, the figures are there, but BArch scanner person has failed see page is crumpled, partly obscuring two five figure words. Person with simple camera and fingers (in glove of course) can unhinge paper so to speak, to read them. I come across many production plan in BAMA on my trips there, that are in such condition, on verge of turning to dust, or break-apart. I will look if I can find pictures of this doc taken elsewhere.

I presume figures on website are correct, if not, just another fail on that website. Everybody has fails, mis-info or plain wrong info these days. It´s the accepted norm to present "scewed reality". Else it dos not slip be the algorithms (sic).

BTW The colum setup in doc of adding Repaired to Newbau skews the picture. This is not Luftwaffe doc per se, but made be Allies.These are not exact figures, just what Allied Intelligance came up with, 1945, based on the documents they had. These are not "Production correct" but what Luftwaffe RLM LC or LE Departments gave. I Have studied one type in there and these are not ACTUAL totals made I like admit. More often than not a Repair plane was also Newbau, and Umbau also. (These are more like unchecked acceptance figures, with all them quirks that follow.)

You need understand Luftwaffe figures were often inaccurate, because
Changes-in-production (plan versus reality), many schenarios and different departments making the totals.
