I met Gottfried at a church in NJ, He was giving a lecture about his time as a POW in Russia. The book was not yet finished. He seemed very genuine, even breaking down at times. I did not read the book but I think he wants to tell more about mans inhumanity to man than about being a fighter pilot. He had a good deal of photos of himself from flight school to front line service. Maybe sixty odd years latter but you could still tell it was him. If I remember correctly he told me that one of his victories was not confirmed. I may still have his address if I can find it I will write to him. Any questions you would like me to ask him? Please be nice ! just because we great historians
have not heard of him does not make his story a hoax.
