Re: Nom de Plumes - Luftwaffe aircrew 1940
I had the same problem with the book and contacted the author . As I remember from his reply he had collected all sorts of info about incidents including wartime newspapers . From this I understood the incidents happened but he probably put a name to at least some of the Luftwaffe men . A couple of wartime newspapers I have has a resident, saying about a Luftwaffe airman , we gave him a cup of tea he said his name was Fritz , Karl etc. however when linked to the NVM this was incorrect .

Re: Nom de Plumes - Luftwaffe aircrew 1940
So as good as a work of fiction. To use newspaper reports would mean that they were subject to propaganda so from a contemporary historian's point of view, worthless
