Officer Careers Summary for 2024

[Doug Stankey]

We wish to announce the issue of the 2024 version of the

Luftwaffe Officers Career Summaries
on WWW.WW2.dk.

This version has added 789 "New guys", and deleted 31 for a total of 6,352 changes. This results in a total number of officers of 93,689. This low increase is due to saturation effects since there are fewer and fewer officer unaccounted for, but mainly due to the fact that the past year has been something of a disaster. My computer (12 years old ) suffered a hard drive failure and a few months later suffered a catastrophic failure, then I had a series of health crises. This resulted in chaos and the loss of about 9 months of effort. Thus the net changes for the past year have been greatly reduced from normal. Hopefully this is the end of the chaos and we will get more done in the next year.

Special thanks to Markus Richter for his plentiful updates and corrections...

Doug,

To add to Junker's comment "WW2.DK it still the 2023 version"

The Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries page has not been updated and neither has the "Whats New" page - both reference the 2023 Summaries as being the latest.

Clicking on the links on the Career Summaries page will only return the 2023 files.

Maybe Michael has some additional work to do.
