Re: Dietrich Peltz - the missing (post-war) years
Thanks Chris, will do.
What you say about his reticence in talking with historians is entirely consistent with what Richard Muller tells me. I guess Peltz had good reason(s) to avoid talking too much about some aspects of his wartime career. On the basis of admittedly limited evidence, he appears to have been genuinely close to Goering (one of the letters in FO 1038/166 asserts that "for a period of time he lived in Karinhall, G's palatial estate, and was practically considered a member of the family") and I suspect he made as many enemies and friends within the Luftwaffe officer corps, which may have influenced him to seek a quiet life post-war.
Anyway, thanks for the tip.
Simon
