You can build a broader picture from those "random messages", something they did with great success during the war and that I've been trying to do since 1987. Some messages give great detail about the aircraft on strength with a unit or a comeplete after-action report on a raid, others might be a request for a spare wheel. There is no shortcut to putting in many hours of reading the material.
All of the "Main Series of reports to Allied Commands" (spring 1941–May 1945) are free to download from the National Archives and
Andy Mitchell has transcribed some of these on Luftwaffe Data.
If haven't already, take a look at
Using ULTRA for Luftwaffe research on my website.
