BTW, it's your turn to wash up already. Just saying.
Haha ok I’ll get my marigolds on! Actually “Leistungsbuch” really means “Performance book”. You see a lot of them for sale for German youth groups, like Hitler Youth etc. Tbh they are more interesting than a logbook for the reasons I described above, some of my Flugbuch are dry in the extreme with just takeoff time, etc listed, whereas others are filled with heaps of detail by the pilot....eg “shotdown by spitfire, parachute jump”....in German obviously
So a Luftwaffe Lesitungsbuch is really a mix of F540, intelligence report and logbook,
So I’ve attached two scans of the covers of Günther Kauschkes Flugbuch and Leistungsbuch and one of an entry in his Leistungsbuch. See if you can work out what it is saying......
