Please read the first post in this series to get a background !
I have included the entries for 13.(Z)/JG 5 on 25th and 26th of January - even if these are not listed in the Summarische Verlustmeldungen. Units were not obliged to report aircraft loses when they were assessed to be below 10%. In case of personnel they were not to be reported unless they where killed, missing or wounded. In the case of missing personnel, they were listed as missing even if a subsequent report informed that they were captured - dead or alive... This was corrected in the detailed loss lists - and we can see traces of these corrections in the statistical data also.
