Since he was a well trained professional (and experienced) pilot of the Luftwaffe since 1934 he managed to survive this useless war. He served as a flight instructor until the late stages of the war until they started to use those important multipliers for defending the scattered German cities. Therefore he had the chance to fly with nearly everything of the Luftwaffe inventory (except the jets).
I wonder if he's responsible for any of those 20mm casings my Dad used to collect with his friends in Croydon before being carted off to the countryside.
He relate any worthy "There I was" anecdotes?
he managed to survive this useless war.Well said, and, I would add, that "stupid" war.
It did not have to be, and its consequences in the empowerment of socialism are yet to be overcome. Just damn.
