Re: Most Representative Luftwaffe Pilot?
..and it took a while to 're-educate' him post-war. His memoir hasn't been available in a German edition for years. No-one mention Rudel or Dahl or Herrmann yet...or too 'ugly' for sensibilities here....bomber/Schlacht fighter aces & commanders, innovators, aggressively pro-regime, etc etc, in trouble with the German authorities post-war (Rudel, Dahl at least) while Herrmann was a classically educated poet & 'ramming' advocate...
my choice as most 'representative' though; a Transport or Kampfflieger turned fighter 'ace' such as Stamp, Wischnewski, Gapp or Zorner... |

August Lambert? Or August Hachtel perhaps? Both real Luftwaffe 'warriors' having transitioned from the Schlachtflieger to the Jagdwaffe and with impressive military careers. RF |
