Bestandliste


Jeffrey Ethell's Komet - The Messerschmitt 163 contains Bestandliste in Appendix F, which contain very useful data. Unfortunately they are presented in a confusing format, with some badly translated column headers, and with a few obvious errors in the numbers. They are presented here in a format that is very close to the original format. The website of the Special Interest Group Luftwaffe in Norway yielded additional information on January and December 1944, and Michael Holm's The Luftwaffe, 1933-45 website provided extra data on Erg.Sta./JG400 and IV./(Erg)JG2 equipment and numbers, plus some data on Komet subtypes (although the B-2 is not yet explained). Michael Holm's website has the same data but in a different format: a listing per Gruppe, which can be more convenient. Michael also reports that the records of the Bestandliste after December 1944 have been lost.
