Kesselring Battle of Britain leadership.
For his performance and leadership in the Mediterranean and specifically in his defense of Italy Generalfeldmarschall Albert Kesselring has won accolades as one of the top German Generals of WWII.
1) However, how does Kesselring’s performance as Air Fleet 3 CO during the Battle of Britain stack up especially comparted to Air Fleet 2 CO Hugo Sperrle? –IIRC Sperrle wanted to continue the campaign against Fighter Command Airfields, when Kesselring supported the ill-fated all out blow on London.
1) How was it that Kesselring went from being an Air Fleet CO to command the defense of Italy –essentially a job for someone familiar with the requirements of a land campaign?
Thanx
