Supplementary Claims from Lists



Reich & Western Front

These Luftwaffe Fighter Claims are extracted from BA-MA 35-mm. micro-films, and are supplemented by Claims from other published lists and MSS, to provide what is a daily log of some of the air battles of the Second World War of 1939-45. The lists in the Films were, in ninety-nine per cent of cases, hand-written by members of the Personnel Department under the Chief of Training and Discipline within the realms of the Oberkommando der Luftwaffe.

Some of the Films are of poor quality, being under-exposed and difficult the read. So, with these factors in mind, the Editor craves forbearance, and asks for assistance and support in the building of this task. The "working" Lists are not definitive, are open to constant debate, amendment and correction, and are the responsibility of the Editor for the edification of students, air-historians and friends. Some notes:

1. The BA-MA films cover Claims of crews of Day-Fighters, Night-Fighters, miscellaneous units, and Flak Batteries on all Fronts from September 1939 to the end of December 1944. The Films roughly form three parts: 1. Handwritten Daily Logs (severely limited and often duplicated until about the beginning of 1943). 2. Typed lists of the 'Ubersicht über bisher anerkannte Abschuße' or, roughly, 'lists of confirmed kills known hitherto'. These omit the important crash-locations, and usually cover claims to about mid-1942 only. And, 3., hand-written Daily Logs of Claims which cover, solely, the unit, the date and time, and the RLM Confirmation Number.

2. To avoid duplication between the Claims from Films and other sources, the following methods are used. In the case of an exact match between Film data and other sources, the data of the latter is eradicated, and a small pennant placed with the Claimant's name. In the case of an in-exact match between the two, the third-party source remains in being but marked Green.

3. HSS=Herausabschuß=Shoot-out i.e. enemy aircraft separated from the protection of its formation. e.V.=endgültige Vernichtung=Final Destruction i.e. shooting-down of a straggler previously separated and damaged from its formation as a Herausabschüß (HSS). w.b.=wirklich beschossen=well shot-up or damaged. Anerk: = Anerkennung (Acknowledgement). VNE=Vernichtung nicht erwiesen=Destruction not yet proven. ASM=Anerkennung später moglich=Confirmation to be later decided.
