Unit gains and losses - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

aldodog · #1 22nd August 2007, 17:12

Gentlemen,

What did the Luftwaffe call their monthly strength reports (unit, a/c type, and numbers assigned at beginning and end of each month)? I came across these online somewhere and now I can't locate.

Thanks ahead,

aldo

Hello Aldo

I am sure that you mean these: www.ww2.dk/oob/bestand/flugbew.htm

Horrido!

Yep'r! Now I can quit beating my head on the desk.

Thanks Leo

Can any German speakers translate these headings from the reports?

"Feindeinw"

"von andere Verbände"

Thanks again

Hello Aldo,

"Feindeinw" would be "Feindeinwirkung", meaning "enemy action"
"von andere Verbände" means "from other units"

regards,
Tomislav

If you're worried about the grammar, I think it's "von anderen Verbänden" (you add -n in a dative plural: I remember that much from school!)

Thanks for the help, Babelfish was having difficulties with those two.
