Re: Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain

Chapter 6 read

Covers the period following the Dunkirk evacuation and the German's push southwards in June 1940. Not a lot of detail about the combat, but quotes from a Stabsfeldwebel with the Luftwaffe Transport column 9/VII (page 94), and a soldat in a Luftwaffe supplies unit in Berlin (page 100). Below is a scan of page 98. Anyone interested in the work of Professor Franz Büchner? He specialised in hypoxia, don'tcha know! Directly relevant to the BoB? Put yer oxygen mask on and it don't happen! Still nothing about the BoB, and the end of that chapter takes me to page 106.
