Country: | here are the questions chris sent me:
"What is your opinion on the state of the Luftwaffe in late 1944 to the end of the war?"
"What was it like to be a Luftwaffe pilot from late 1944 to 1945?"
"What were your thoughts during those last months of the war?"
"Was all hope lost or did you have a feeling the Luftwaffe could turn the war around from mid 1944?"
"How did the Bf 109G and later Bf 109K compare to the P-51D Mustang in combat?"
"How did the Fw 190A compare to the P-51D Mustang in combat?"
"How did the Fw 190D (Dora) compare to the P-51D in combat?"
"The Bf 109G/K, Fw 190A, Fw 190D against other allied aircraft such as the Spitfire?"
"How did the Ta 152H compare to other allied aircraft in combat?"
"How many Ta 152Hs were in active units when the war ended?"
"How difficult was the transition from the Fw 190 to the Ta 152?"
"What was the state of the moral in the Luftwaffe in 1945?"
"What was your opinion of the Me 262 and other "Wonder" aircraft?
"What was your favorite aircraft to fly?"
"What were his personal experiences with the Ta 152? His personal feelings about the aircraft"
"Was the Ta 152 a solid built aircraft?'
"Does he feel that the Luftwaffe would have benefited from a G-Suit?"
Gonna send it out tomorrow and let you know as soon as i get the answer.
Chris, you donīt need to aologize

Country: | O.K. Few minutes ago I got an letter from W.R.
Think you expected detailed answer but hereīs what I got:
'' I got 20 questions and have to ask myself if thereīs a sence to answer them...The facts are clear-Germany lost the WW2 and we would never win even if we had 1000 Ta152īs available...Only an idiot can lead the war against the half of the world...Ta152 was my life insurance and helped me to survive the war...but there were a lots of people they werenīt so lucky like me''.

| I understand W.R. completely. But would it be possible to ask him wether he could answer the questions one by one? He can take all the time he needs.
Thank W.R. for his answers and wish him the best from me Seesul
