Re: Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain
Guesswork and imagination have no place in historical research. Phrases like "it appears that" or "it is believed that" are place holders for gaps. Or "this author thinks this for the following reasons."
This is research: The event, the official documents (Air Min, Luftwaffe), secondary sources, including pilot log books, and third-hand sources, as in "We saw an American plane crash in a field by this village on this date." Nothing more. Let me repeat that: Nothing more. As the various sources line up in terms of date and time, the greater the confidence that the event happened as described.

Re: Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain
I hope it lives up to the hype and does in fact come up with something totally new. I will not be watching it as I will be enjoying a meal in a restaurant in SW France

Re: Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain
I’ll listen to this too - I’ve been really impressed with Dr Taylor when I have heard her talking about the Luftwaffe on various podcasts, so I am really hopeful that she will provide a fresh set of eyes on this well covered topic. It’s another issue entirely but I also think it’s great to see more female historians coming into what was previously very much an all male world.

Nope-restaurant Le Lou Marmitou just outside Mussidan😊. I look forward to what people like John V think as I am sceptical about these new and unpublished claims

WW2TV is a payment channel. I'll try to watch, but I'm not paying to watch youtube...
