Re: Luftwaffe Myths

As the host I'd like to make a couple of comments.

Unfortunately much of this first attempt carries the hallmark of troll activity.

1. new member
2. anonymous (with a provoking name "killed lawyers")
3. calling out the community
4. presenting a "challenge"

The post isn't a question nor an effort to gather information, it is in fact a challenge. The question for us is to judge if it is worth the interest and time to answer. If YOU are genuine enough to warrant more than a raised eyebrow.

My instinct tells me that I'll probably have to ban you within a week or a month at most, but you deserve a chance like everyone does who participates in this community.

Lesson One, the Luftwaffe is more than just Jagdwaffe claims and Hartmann.

Lesson Two, distrust all propaganda from both sides of the Hill

Lesson Three, look at the war across the board, at each theatre at each stage, separate and in context of the whole.

Lesson Four, don't assume that the success formula for one combattant is automatically the same for all the others (dogma).

Final Lesson for now, don't assume anything about this forum. It is a community as varied as you'll come across, but with a higher number of experienced (research, writing, publishing) contributors and even a couple of WW2 veterans.

So "Killed Lawyers" lets see how you fare in this community. You've already lost a friend with the manner of your entry.
