I took another shot at putting Tony Woods WWII East and West German Victory Claims into Excel and doing an analysis by pilot as well as by victim and date claimed. Thought it might give some food for thought. Check out the second and third tabs for some basic analysis. You can go look at...

Something incredible has washed up on the coast of Argentina. Researchers believe it to be the remnants of a World War II German submarine or midget U-boat. What historians and researchers find most fascinating about this find is that this submarine makes it difficult to deny that that Nazis...

Found a nice pdf of German Military Abbreviations. I've been looking for something like this for years, and so I figured maybe someone else might be, too.
