Re: Kesselring Battle of Britain leadership.

I can answer the second point: The Luftwaffe was not as separate from the German army as the RAF was from the British. Kesselring was an army general who simply moved from post to post as required.

However, if I recall correctly, he was also the man responsible for the cancellation of the invasion of Malta, so perhaps his handling of the Middle East was also not without its faults.
