Need the identity of a unnamed LW Oberst;
Guys:
I am reading Arthy & Jessen's new book about FW 190s during the battle for Sicily. I came across a recollection by Fritz Schroeter about an allied bombing raid on the airfield at Vibo Valentia on July 16, 1943; a large collection of LW fighters & fighter bombers was devastated by the raid. Schroeter recalled he met a Luftwaffe Oberst who was a 'fighter pilot of great fame', who ended up totally demoralized by this raid. I was curious if Andrew, Morten or anybody else knows the identity of this Oberst.
