Luctwaffe Eagle

[Jukka Juutinen]

Schuck´s memoirs were indeed very good, at least the Finnish edition which I have read. On the other hand, lately there have been many politically motivated Luftwaffe biographies, like the one on Günther Lützow. I couldn´t simply finish it as the author´s political sneering got so overwhelming. Apparently that author has not heard what Helsinki University professor, Dr Matti Klinge has written on proper historiography. A proper historian does not judge, he does not treat historiography as a court of law, he describes events as they happened, he does not apply later day standards on historical events or personalities and fnally, he tries to describe events from the participants´ point of view, not some later day moralizers.
