Re: Adolf Dickfeld
Gentlemen,
Adolf Dickfeld set down at his writing desk in a high age without the help of his Flugbuch or other historical data for this book. He put on the paper those stories he or others had told during the last years when sitting in the club while having a beer. Except his own crash during the Tunisian campaign no one of the described accidents can become proved by official loss reports. Most of the names of other pilots or the “test unit” during the BoB are born in his fantasy.
This book is good for a lazy hour during winter times in front of the fireplace but not useable for any serious historic research.
