Re: KG51 and Armawir raid 4/5.Nov.42
As it turned out, successful raid against Armawir was in the evening 25.Oct.42. According to Korück 550 report, 5 a/c were destroyed, 11 heavy damaged, 6 slightly damaged.
It seems GQM returns omitted many losses/damages again. One more proof that GQM data about ground losses are incomplete. Best regards, Andrey |

Re: KG51 and Armawir raid 4/5.Nov.42
Great find, Andrey, and many thanks for posting it! Yes, I have found similar cases where the total of destroyed and damaged aircraft on the ground as reported by the local Fliegerhorstkommandantur does not match the number given in the Gen.Qu.(6.Abt.) Verlustmeldungen. In other cases, the ground losses do not appear in the Gen.Qu. lists at all or the number is changed one or more times and the new amended total does not appear in the Gen.Qu. lists. I guess the "bottom line" is that there is no 100% accurate source for losses.
Cheers, Larry |

Re: KG51 and Armawir raid 4/5.Nov.42
Thank you, I know it.
So 6 destroyed/damaged a/c in GQM against 5+11=16 in the Korück 550 report (and maybe some of slightly damaged had damages>=5%) Quote:

Re: KG51 and Armawir raid 4/5.Nov.42
The Ju 88C-6 - WNr. 360013 vs. 460013 - I have same WNr. 460013, but there was no C-6 WNr. in the 460xxx range. The Ju 88A-14 WNr. 4070 is WNr. 144070. It may even be a Ju 88A-4.
