Re: Most Representative Luftwaffe Pilot?
My understanding was that the British regarded the Luftwaffe as very indoctrinated and as such treated them with greater security then Wehrmacht and Kriegsmarine prisoners. I recently met a chap of 84, amazingly still serving as Chaplain to the Sea Cadets who during the war served as a prison camp guard. He told me the unofficial POW camp 'pecking order' went Waffen SS, Paratroopers, Luftwaffe, U-Boatcrews, Wehrmacht and lastly the softest Kriegsmarine.
