Arming the Luftwaffe

[edwest]

Dear Richard,


It appears that point 4 gives away the author's bias. Slave labor was used in V-1 production as well. As I understand it, they were given parts, an instruction sheet and then had to assemble a working assembly. The Germans retained their technological expertise till the end of the war.

No doubt, there are stories to be told about slave labor. Then, by all means, write a book about that. As I think you're aware, by 1944, aircraft component production was being dispersed and some went underground. I have a seen a photo of Fw-190s that were pulled out of a railway tunnel by the Americans. Those fully visible, at least three, were painted and appeared complete.


Regards,
Ed
