Re: I have just written a new analysis of Luftwaffe resource distribution - it is on Michael Holm's website
Dear Marcel,
Since reading 'Samurai' at the age of eleven, nothing has preoccupied my interests so much as the aviation history. Since then, I've read many books on the subject, spent a lot of time in archives and had the privilege to speak to some of the WWII veterans.
The statement that the "Western air power defeated the Luftwaffe and therefore enabled the USSR to survive" is naive to say the least and for that I do not have to read a line from the study trying to prove it. Did RAF Circuses and Ramrods stop von Bock in front of Moscow? Did the dislocation of few fighter groups to Libya prevent von Paulus from winning at Stalingrad?
