Re: Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain
Adriano, I don’t understand why my latest post made you think about oxygen masks when all I was trying to say was that the context in which the fighting took place is a legitimate thing to consider. If you haven’t already read it, I recommend ‘The German War’ by Nicholas Stargardt.
Whether Dr. Taylor is right or wrong about airmen not wearing their masks, I have no idea without reading the book and checking the source. Meanwhile, you might find something relevant in Bundesarchiv RL 8/78: Abteilung I T.- Atemmaske HM 51 für Höhenflüge (1939–1941) which is digitised.
