Re: Luftwaffe POWs in Russia
Gentlemen. I am involved in the hosting of veteran speakers at the MidAtlantic World War II weekend in Reading, PA. Gottfried has been a guest speaker over the past two years, and a special guest of the Luftwaffe re-enactors who participate in the event.
It is best to avoid speculation and go right to the source. This is the fairest and most direct recourse. I will alert him about this thread and ask him to kindly provide answers to your queries.
As an aside, Mr. Dulias is an outstanding guest and a true gentleman, whose message about his experiences focus on the extent and breadth of man's inhumanity to man. My opinion, worth little of offered nonetheless: The images, recollections and emotional conveyances of his career and especially of his comrades' tragic deaths in Russia are vividly valid independent of whether either a fighter type or a date is misidentified, or whether he fails to appear in rarefied and disheveled late war records. Sometimes the judgements on this site are a tad harsh and made with a bit too much alacrity without the full facts from all concerned (see the Fred Arnold thread, above)
I am sure that he will be able to clear this up quickly.
