This is to present some (hopefully interesting:-) statistics from the database containing basic information on attacks on ground targets in what is now the territory of the Czech Republic. 396 locomotives in total were strafed from October 1944 to May 1945, approx. 80 per cent of which were put out of service (there were seven engines that were shot up, fixed and hit again). Other 23 locomotives were damaged but remain in operational ocnditions or weren't hit at all. In case of 39 accidents, the result was not reported but one can imagine that a majority of those locomotives were also put out of service. The loco depots in Plzen, Tabor and Rakovnik suffered heavy losses but relevant figures concerning the depot in Zdice are missing – If weren't the ranking would look differen, I pressume. On a single day – on April 17, 1945 – fifty locomotives were put out of service.
Referring to this data I estimate the number of locomotives at least temporarily lost to fighters ranged 500 and 600.
