Re: Tunisian losses
Sure, Jim. I've found quite a few losses which aren't in the Genqu listings. Anyway, I see no reason to completely dismiss the Luftwaffe loss reports (Genqu or Summarische Verlustmeldungen). By comparing Genqu with first-hand material such as unit war diaries and logbooks, I get the impression that an absolute majority of the Luftwaffe losses are listed in the Genqu material.
One question: Are there any loss reports by any armed forces which are absolutely complete, 100% reliable, and completely untouched by human error? Hasn't this thread strayed a bit from the original topic? Wouldn't the header to this thread rather be "General talk about just one example of a classical problem confronting historians in general"? ;-) |
