Luftwaffe Pilots in World War 2: The Veterans' Stories Volume 1

What was it like to be a pilot in Hitler's Luftwaffe during World War II? In this book, the veterans themselves provide the answer.

Author Christer Bergström enjoys a reputation as one of the greatest experts on Luftwaffe during World War II. During over 40 years of research, he has visited and made interviews with hundreds of Luftwaffe pilot veterans. Here he recounts what the veterans themselves told him – often things that don't usually appear in ordinary books about the war. The book is richly illustrated with, among other things, never before published photos from the veterans' private photo albums.
