Luftwaffe radio chatter
Hi all, new here. For a writing project I am looking for transcripts or recordings of Luftwaffe radio chatter. Preferably between pilot/gunner/aimer/bombardier, and preferably translated to English. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would also be interested in RAF or USAF examples as well. Thanks!

Re: Luftwaffe radio chatter
Like Vegas, what is said in the aircraft tends to stay in the aircraft
There are recordings of RAF bomber crews recorded by the BBC, Dimbleby comes to mind, but everyone is on their best behaviour There are also reports of crews that pressed the transmit button by accident and transmitted their discussions to the world. It is remarkable how these occasions differ from the staged recordings, but I have never seen a verbatim account, just snippets The best you are likely to do is read autobiographies and take them with a pinch of salt Officially, in the RAF anyway, discussion and talk was discouraged. You were there to do a job and the pilot did not need someone banging on about beer and women when the rear gunner was desperately trying to tell him something about a fighter Unless someone knows different, I think this is correct Martin |

Re: Luftwaffe radio chatter
I am afraid I have never seen or heard of such from a Luftwaffe point of view as Martin says unless you take wartime fictional films
