Possibly.


I suspect Perseus is an American? Something of a communication problem, in Europe the phrase "..try and get in someone's pants" means to attempt to have sex with them..." *laughing*

Unless there's some weird necrophilia Luftwaffe cult I was unaware of...

Maximowtiz, I am pretty sure the more appropriate expression would be 'walk in his shoes' rather than the 'pants' uh-thingie--because it means the same thing in the US as in Europe

Re: Personal Life of Walter Oesau & Other Questions

In Rudel's Stuka Pilot, as detailed as he gets, he never even mentions the fact that he was even married. By the way, he was, and his wife was a very attractive woman by the way. As long as one is detailing the lives of these airmen isn't it appropriate to mention the basic details of their personal lives to give us more of a feel for personalities?

Quite.

An Oesau bio? Why not? I see no reason for it not to be written, providing it is well researched and honest, which I'm sure it would be. I'd like to see similar bios of Walter Dahl and Kurt Welter too, anything to put some "skin on the bones."
