Re: Horst Henning
Consider checking sources like this before quoting them
Reviewing their own sources can be beneficial And then make a decision as to how quotable and correct the source is Perhaps a bit of "own research" of original documents is possible? |

Re: Horst Henning
Michael
In both Ritterkreuzträger books I have (fighter pilots and bomber pilots) he is listed as making "only" four claims. Maybe Johannes feels that none of these can be verified? Cheers Stig |
