Adolf Dickfeld

Brian:

I recall a thread a LONG time ago about Dickfeld & the problem is that he didn't have his logbooks & other records so much of the book was written basically from memory; that and there was some question as to why he was 'pulled' from combat flying in late 1943--a time when the JW was in VERY dire need of experienced unit leaders...I Know that's not much help but it was how the problems of specific dates & historical context was explained to me...

PS: Dickfeld had a very eventful life AFTER WW2 as well & I think he wrote a book about that too---one that has NOT been translated into English; he alludes to MANY post war events in 'Footsteps' but I guess I'LL NEVER know!
