The straits of Messina: diary of a fighter commander par Johannes Steinhoff

Steinhoff was an experienced Luftwaffe pilot who choses to right about his period in the Italian theatre. He covers the period where the Allied Air Superiority became established there. It is an informative memoir, and pretty good English in the translation.

The Final Hours, A German Jet Pilot Plots Against… par Johannes Steinhoff

Interesting and sad book. Steinhoff clearly distinguishes himself as an Ace but has questionable military qualities if he engages in subversive activity against his own leadership. Leaves one wondering about the overall state of leadership qualities in NATO if Steinhoff was allowed to rise to such a prominent NATO position. Sadly appears to be an apologetic book of service in German military.

It is a compilation of oral statements by over 150 Germans about their experience in Hitler's Germany and in World War II. There are various viewpoints but it is disheartening to realize that opposiiton to Hitler and his evil was so limited and that many Germans even years later did not wholeheartedly condemn Nazidom. Let's face it--when a country is at war it takes a special kind of heroism to be against one's country no matter how evil the course that country is pursuing. Stephen Decatur is viewed as a great patriot because he siad "My country, in its intercourse with foreign countries may she always be right, but my country, right or wrong." I dare say that there are Americans who subscribe to that sentiment but who at the same time excoriate Germans for not rising up against Hitler.… (plus d'informations)
