The German Luftwaffe Always Fought Without Any

The Colossus Of World War Ii Seemed To Be Like A Pyramid Turned Upside Down, And For The Moment The Whole Burden Of The War Rested On The Few Hundred German Fighter Pilots On The Channel Coast.

When I Was Fired From My Post As General Of The Fighter Arm, I Was To Give Proof That This Jet Was A Superior Fighter. And That's When We Did It. I Think We Did It.

We Have Built A Total Of About 1250 Of This Aircraft, But Only Fifty Were Allowed To Be Used As Fighters - As Interceptors. And Out Of This Fifty, There Were Never More Than 25 Operational. So We Had Only A Very, Very Few.

The Battle Is Tough But If You Reach Where You Want To Go, Then At Least In Some Sense It Is Worth It.

During The Battle Of Britain The Question "fighter Or Fighter-bomber?" Had Been Decided Once And For All: The Fighter Can Only Be Used As A Bomb Carrier With Lasting Effect When Sufficient Air Superiority Has Been Won.
