Re: "The Men Who Killed the Luftwaffe"

Hello Denes!

A tiny, tiny fraction of ground crewmen were killed by enemy action during World War II. Among those, the greatest number of casualties probably came early in the war during the North African campaign when U.S. airpower was still nascent and the fight was more tactical than strategic.

Although I don't have data right in front of me to back it up, I'd guess that more groundmen were killed in accidents than by enemy action.

Regards,
Jay
