Luftwaffe Quotations
I'm looking for some famous Luftwaffe quotations - specifically for the BoB and just after? Anyone have any they like or know of that are worth mentioning?

Look up Galland's quote to the effect that if he'd had a squadron of Soitfires....

Re: Luftwaffe Quotations
One I like was the Luftwaffe 109 pilot just fished out the Channel in the BoB and presented to Goering. It was claimed that Goering asked him what he thought of as he awaited rescue and he replied '' Your speech that Englands an island no more Herr Reichmarschall''
From 'Eagle Day' by Richard Collier page 222 Heinz Bar to Goering.

That would certainly explain why Goering didn't much like Bar!!
