Strange case of Walter Dahl

[Johannes]

Hi Alfred

Actually I am now believing that Dahl wrote his Leistungsbuch post-war. To say the document is a "fake" is probably not true, it's real in the sense that it's really Dahl's original fiction. There were two other pilots names Dahl used as witnesses a Leutnant Meyer and Oberfeldwebel Bohnenkamp, guess if we can prove behaps that these guys were killed before having their names abused then that would be great, and we are assuming the name used was Walter Loos, but I am 99% sure this is the case.
I am in agreement that it is a disgraceful abuse of Dahl's position, he would have known that the destruction of Luftwaffe documents was ordered at the time, but not how far in reality it actually went. The Leistungsbuch fiction he had written probably must have occurred before 1961, hopefully somebody can confirm it is in Dahl's handwriting, though I guess he could have got anybody to write it!


As to any future biography on my behalf of him, as previously stated I have been warned-off in mentioning any fraudulent claims(so like to point out the honest ones), or mention of any pilots honesty in a bad way, however these were not even fraudulent claims just fictional claims, so without adjusting the status of any fraudulent claims he made prior to 1945, I guess I could list the post General der flieger claims as fiction.

Hope this doesn't put other General der flieger's in bad light, Galland and Molders did not indulge in such a practice of authority abuse. In fact I think the position carried a "combat flying ban" i.e Molders, Galland and Gollob were all banned from further combat, therefore in theory ALL of Dahl's post General der flieger appointment claims should in my opinion be regarded as fiction...……...makes you wonder how he got the position in the first place, actually rumour has it that Gollob was not as honest as his predecessors.


Kind Regards

Good morning Johannes,

Dahl clearly assumed that there would never be such a dedicated historian like you.
A definite proof for his 1945 kills being a postwar fake would confer the top ace title for that calendar year to Günther Josten:
