Re: Karl Ries & Hans Obermaier
Salut, Chris!
I can only endorse George Morrison's comments regarding Karl Ries and Ernst [sic] Obermaier as seminal agents in the flowering of a "Luftwaffe community" during and after the 1960s. Other names must be added, of course: Heinz Nowarra and especially Werner Girbig come to mind.
I do not have the precise dates at hand—I expect that other readers will—but Karl Ries died in Mainz some 25 years ago; Ernst Obermaier succumbed too young about 15-18 years ago.
To these influential personalities, requiecat in pace with the respect of those who followed you.
