Re: Luftwaffe's decline
Maybe... but Galland wasn't an administrator, he was an airman and a damn fine one too. He would have been so out of his depth with the internal politics and backstabbing that he would have gone the same way as Udet.

Re: German POW camp for Soviet POWs in Święty Krzyż - death camp
It doesn't excuse the bad treatment of any POW by any nation. Once a man has surrenderred to you he is vulnerable and in your care. If he is a war criminal then he should be seperated, put on trial and treated as such anyone else is just a prisonner. You cannot hold everyone responsible for the beha...

Re: Heydrich's Storch
i doubt that the swastika was used even on Heydrich's a/c (Afterall Hitler's had the balken cross.) it was probably used by the film makers so that the viewers could immediatly identify it as a Nazi aircraft and not just a German one. I see people coming into the Imperial war museum pointing at our ...

Definatly don't tell your mate that she's having an affair, you may get implicated and ruin your friendship or he may disbelieve you and take offence that you intimated his wife was unfaithful.
Hope this helps

Re: To wed or not to wed?
Well i guess we'll see now. The wedding is in 9 days now. Sam and I almost broke up but decided that the Caroline issue grew from the fact that we had grown apart from each other and that we needed to work on our relationship as niether of us wanted to leave the other and couldn't break up despite t...

Re: Battle of Korsun-Shevchenko(Hitler agreed with of gen. lie)
I have no Russo-phobia and find Yuri's post interesting and yeah it does open up a whole different side to the ost front that i think has been overlooked. Just some of the terminology worries me: Like "Pan european" when talking about the Wehrmacht. As i said in a prievious post the majori...

Re: Luftwaffe's decline
Galland viewed Bodenplate with a lot of disgust as he'd been secretly stockpiling officers and planes for a single knockout blow against an American bomber box with the theory that if he could do enough damage on one raid the US would hold off on air offensives. Instead OKW wasted his reserve for a ...

Re: lilli Marlene... Lale anderson vs Marlene Dietrich
I think the original poem was written in WW1 but the song was indeed written by Norbert Schultze who wrote a lot of the German Marches like the catchy "Bomben Auf Engerland!"

lilli Marlene... Lale anderson vs Marlene Dietrich
Hi guys, Having a debate at work as to what version of Lilli Marlene is better. Personally i like the tune for Lale Anderson (1939 version) but prefer Dietrich's voice... One of the guys i work with swears by the original Anderson version. Both versions can be found here. http://ingeb.org/garb/lmarl...

Re: Me 163 night fighters: inquiry
The other thing is would there be enough room for any radar equipment within the aircraft?
I will try and look it up over the weekend in Pritchards "Messerschmitt."
Cheers
