I will look that up,thanks for the information! Saw a cool doco on the Luftwaffe and their struggle to keep things going with Hitler in the 1943 to 45 period. How he did not believe in defending the Reich from Allied Bombers and instead demanded Goering make more attacks on allied positions but this was unsustainable and then the P-51 comes along and can defend long range bombers. Good stuff! 2 Quote Link to comment
