Re: Gottfried Dulias paper
Hi, guys.
Excellent paper, Thijs.
I cannot help feeling a bit sad about this whole story. It also raises several questions with regards to the kind of research and focus groups like ours have - if the focus could swing a bit from the glorification and worship of aces to trying to fill out all the more or less blank areas surrounding these luminaries, the stories and histories in my opininon might get even better?
Taken into account the preliminary conclusions as made by Thijs - would you guys rather get a fake story about an ace pilot - or the true story about a young cadets experiences while training in the Luftwaffe, maybe even participating in the destruction of mr Downing's Typhoon and other aircraft as a member of a Flak unit, and also probably a more than grim story about the desperate battles against the Soviet forces on the south eastern front?
Just some food for thought!
Regards,
Andreas B
