Re: Oblt Adolf Dickfeld accident at Kairouan January 1943
Johannes, although the book is an easy read, I do not believe parts of the book because they seem like Walter Dahl's book, i.e. full of exaggerations and out right lies. For instance, he tells a story about a disabled Luftwaffe soldier who killed a P-47 pilot for machine gunning his family. In truth, it was a B-24 crewman who was killed by the officer. Still, as a semi-novelized account of Luftwaffe service, it was cheap enough.
The lack of documentation on the January crash in MAW3 surprised me as it was in the original "Fighters Over Tunisia". Maybe there is documentation on the crash? Is the crash mentioned in Mombeek's JG-2 book? I don't have the 1943 volumes, just 1944 & 1945
