| | The Forum of the 1.Jagdmoroner Abteilung - Actual losses in the Battle of Britain |
 | | I don't have that many Luftwaffe sources, so I can only go by the widely known aces, and the totals that are usually published for them, but in almost all cases it seems that the list on Tony Wood's site corrsponds almost exactly with their well known totals. |
 | | There is no doubt the Luftwaffe's rigorous system was designed to identify kills; the claimant and his witness had to stipulate wether the victim caught fire, blew up or hit the ground. |
 | | As it is, total "losses", including aircraft scrapped, sent to training command, etc, cannot have exceeded 1400, which would tie well with operational losses of 1,140 fighters "cat 3", including accidents on operations. |
