Hi All,

First off apologies for that BIG Whoopsi. Of course I have nor ever had any other intentions than pure knowledge. Me and couple of others are trying our best to write a series of articles on a bygone era. People like Heinz Bar, Erich Hartmann, Hans Joachim Marselle to name a few along side Walter Oesau. We are also attempting to write about the Luftwaffe wings from the period that carried their names.

Wikipedia is not THE best source for information. Yet many people do visit it every day to look up information. All I am trying to offer is complete and accurate information on these fighting men that deserve that the users be aware of the honarable life they led. While doing so, you at the least need to mention the fact that they also had a personal side. For ex. Oesau also had a carefree personality apart from being an expert marksman. Now wouldn't a novice person looking up Oesau's name want to know these things ?

Sure you could write a biography detailing their military career. But don't you think that will be kind of incomplete without such information ? conjecture or not, I am hoping the knowledgeable members of this forum could at least point in right direction. At this point in time, I have pretty much exhausted EVERY SINGLE link I could find in the 10 pages google has returned. That's how the Wikipedia article has come to where it is now. Even if a soource can be considered conjecture, I still can mention it if it has half credible information.

I could easily stop reserching on Oesau and move on. Like Flitzer mentioned, there are quiet a few people on whom biographies can be written. (In fact I already started on Heinz Knoke.)

But do we want a complete picture or half finished painting ?
