A 2010 lengthy interview with then 92 year-old Dr. Hienz Migeod, former Luftwaffe pilot, broken down on youtube into numerous pieces.
An unrepentant Nazi, of the sort it would have been a joy to shoot down back then, Migeod was shot down and captured by the Brits in '42 while providing close air support to Rommel in North Africa. Obviously tough, smart and dedicated back then, and still lucid at 92, Migeod gives a glimpse of the sort of men many of our parent's and grandparent's generation had to face.

He pales in comparison to Hans Ulrich Rudel. These guys were tougher than the back wall of a shooting gallery. Good interview and proof positive we need to keep the Germans busy, lest they get that wanderlust again

I can't open up the You Tube stuff and get it to run-problems with my computer. My dad frequently told me the German weapon he feared the most was the Stuka, and he faced them many times. He said the dive sirens they used were very scary to the guys, and he had many nightmares about the Stukas diving on his positions. Dad was infantry, and his unit was badly mauled at Kasserine Pass by Rommel's tanks and from overhead by the ever present Stukas. They shot one down near Dad one time-no idea who hit it. He said you could have walked across the AA fire they put up at those bombers. When the schidt died down, dad went to the wreck and salvaged a tail light beacon and a piece of tubular aluminum off the frame which he fashioned into a crude ring. We still own these two momentos to this day.
30 years ago I went to German jump school with the 263rd falshirmjager Bn, and at the time there was a reunion at the nco club attended by WWII German paras. Old as those men were you could still see the toughness in their eyes and they were for the most part still fit and in shape. Being a combat vet myself we had something in common, but I knew without a doubt they had been through tougher times than I ever had.
When people face the possibility of freezing or starving there is little chance they are going to listen to unfounded claims of climate doomsday from a bunch of ultra-rich yacht sailing private jet-setting carbon-spewing hypocrite elites
The Luftwaffe had excellent pilots early on but were sacrificed by the arrogance of Goering and Hitler's tactical stupidity which eventually became their demise and turned the tide in Europe.You almost have to feel sorry for these old Nazi warriors who flew so many more missions than their allied counterparts to no avail.
Thanks for the vid BW.

I fear even the modern day Germans have pussed out to a large degree.

Rudel? Migeod knew the man back when he was an "insufficient pilot" who couldn't fly in close formation. Rejected by Migeod's own unit, Rudel was assigned to ferry planes to the Russian Front, where another commander gave him one more chance.....
Hey, tho' I had other things needing doing, I must have listened to this guy talk for two hours last night

Well he must have caught up in a hurry. Without question, Rudel was "THE" quintessential Stuka Driver with the biggest set of brass balls this side of General Galland. Hell, they even made a one of a kind special decoration for him.

Wasn't he contacted during A-10 development for input?

Could have been like Richtofen, who had several crashes and nearly washed out of Flight School.

What outfit was your dad in? My old 500 partner (who passed last year) was with the 34th. He and two others (Signal Corps) burned their jeep and walked out of Kasserine.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.

Tim Allen in an old stand-up said the Germans got their wanderlust because their food was chit. Said they were standing on the border of France and said, "Hey, what are they coking over there?". I thought that one was pretty funny.
All they can do is prove over and over that they don't even know how to win a war.
You pop out of your hole every time Germany or Nazis are mentioned. It's like you are obsessed with them. Isn't it time for you to go out to dinner somewhere?

"The planes came out of the sun, and we could see their roundels. We called them "peacock eyes". They were Spitfires [more likely Hurricanes, at that point in the war,]. And we were over our target, and the Spitfires joined in our dive, and they were shooting on us. We went into a deep dive, and our commander gave a stiff order over the wireless, 'Down as deep as we can!'... and we had our diving brake, which limited our airspeed to 550 km/h,and the poor Spitfires had no diving brake, and they couldn't pull their planes out of the dive, and four Spitfires went into the ground."
I always wondered how these slow lumbering Stukas survived air attacks from superior fighters...
