Re: Gottfried Dulias

It's been more than five years (wow time flies), so I don't remember most of the details -though as you might expect, the focus was on Rall. I know that both men felt and expressed sadness at the loss of their wives. I remember asking Rall silly questions like verifying whether his aircraft was No. 13 (This breakfast probably marks the begining of my real obsession with Luftwaffe Experten -I'd ask better questions now), and what pilots he was especially impressed with (he diplomatically responded that there were so many with JG52, that he couldn't single any out). I was impressed by how both men could eat such cholesterol rich food and still exhibit such vigor and mental acuity at their advanced ages (IIRC Rall was then 84 and could pass for a Corporate Chief Executive Officer) -must reflect good genes. It was all over in about 45 minutes and we went our seperate ways.
