Gottfried Dulias paper

[David Ransome]

An excellent piece of investigative work with solid pointers to further investigation/research. Now is the time for others to give further information for or against the Dulias story.

I agree with your comments relating to training pattern and aircraft types and they tie in with what I have been told by at least two former aircrew. I previously did some checking into Fred Browning with MoD and the DSS (latter relating to War Pensions etc) and nothing came up particularly for the periods covered. I don't know much about fighter units in the Luftwaffe to be able to make comment on the units and timelines relating to the Dulias case.

The route to a Flak unit seems most reasonable and was certainly common at the time, I believe, again mainly connected with fuel shortages and a need for more ground defence.

Let's hope for meaningful responses, without huff and puff, to this balanced piece of work!
