Re: German raider boasts of machine-gunning English women?

I have my doubts that Hubert von Greim ever flew low level attacks against targets in England since - as far as I know - his first front line post was 11./JG2 in 1942, a special high altitude Staffel, which was amalgamated into II./JG53 in late 1942 in North Africa where he was captured on 30 December 1942 after having been shot down by Flak. There is no doubt however, that the German fighter bomber campaign against targets on the English coast in 1942/43 resulted in mostly pure and intentional terror attacks with little if any military sense.
