Re: Any ex-LW adviser for 1969 BofB film?
And surely Galland was mis-remembering.
Hitler famously said he had a reactionary Army, a Christian Navy but a National Socialist Air Force, and Galland was for years one of Hitler's favourites.
Galland reciprocated the enthusiasm, which was probably the main reason he lasted for three years as General der Jagdflieger in spite of his hedonism, impatience, blunt language, failures (eg in Sicily), and Goering's antagonism.
And by the way, what exactly was Galland doing illegally in Argentina after his unconditional release by the denazification board in May 1947?
His refusal to explain that paralelled the information gap on his political views and actions during the war.
We simply don't know enough to accept his statement they didn't give the Hitlergruss.
