II.(Schlacht)Lehrgeschwader 2

[Andreas Brekken]

Hi, all and Larry especially.

Never ment to start a flame war - but I was probably a bit fired up by Larry's patronizing answer of April 12th 18:18 where I feel he more or less try in a very condescending fashion (as I read it) to get me (as you would talk to a child) to understand the workings of the Luftwaffe high command.

I have studied these issues for close to 20 years, and I feel I have a certain overview. I can definitely be wrong, Larry, and might have read something else into the answer than you really meant. If that is the case I am man enough to apologize.

I can not see that my latest answer is what you call full personal attacks?

The only thing I wanted to get through was to get a feedback with regards to you and mr Stankey having studied these additional sources which I found in a totally unrelated Reichsmarine folder years ago. I thought it would be interesting - if you still have an interest of furthering the understanding of these units.

There is one line in there were I state that as I understand it you are not interested in additional information being brought forward unless it is followed by the complete official Luftwaffe paper trail - and I hope you understand that your earlier post mentioned above does not really spur the enthusiasm with regards to using time and effort to bring knowledge to the community.

In my opinion it seems we are even... and can go on without any more hurt feelings!

And Larry - I have attached one of the strength reports of the II./(Schl.) LG 2. We can still disagree - but this is how the Luftwaffe General Staff saw the unit. Hopefully someone will come up with the original order with the full details you want in the future.

Regards,
Andreas B
