The doubt is not if he was with the Luftwaffe or not. One of the sites shows him as a Flieger (lowest rank, private in the LW). Millions were in the Luftwaffe he could have been one of them. The point what he claims to have been or has done. He claims to have flown in JG 53 as a Lt. in late 1944, shot down two Spitfires and later flew on the Eastern front with JG 53 (could only have been I./JG 53 if it is true) more claims there (sometimes on sites referred to as Yak's otherwise as I-16's) and shot down on 5th March 1945 and became POW.

Luftwaffe records or claims a relatively complete till late 1944. Records about losses relatively complete till March 1945. It is known that I./JG 53 flew no missions between 2. and 8. March 1945. Nowhere is there any reference to a lt. Gottfried Dulias.

If Mr. Dulias has pictures or documents it can be possible to verify his story. Maybe also not of these pic's show him as only a Flieger or Gefreiter. Finally, his story can be easily verified through the WASt. If he give shis permission his Personelfile can be obtained.

Finally.....his habit of walking in a LW Uniform does not make him very credible...

Enough said, don't want to waist more time on this guy, which, until proven otherwise, is a hoax to me.

Cheers,
