Where do they find these people?

1. Robert Kershaw's a bloody good writer on German ground forces (cf. It Never Snows in September for starters) but what has he ever written about the Luftwaffe?
2. A character's discovery of Luftwaffe human experimentation was a major plot point in Len Deighton's novel Bomber, published a mere 55 years ago! That does not fit my definition of news.
