And Most Of These Pilots Were Lost

"he Who Wants To Protect Everything, Protects Nothing," Is One Of The Fundamental Rules Of Defense.

I Would Like To Mention That I Have Flown The 262 First In May ‘43. At This Time, The Aircraft Was Completely Secret. I First Knew Of The Existence Of This Aircraft Only Early In ‘42 - Even In My Position. This Aircraft Didn’t Have Any Priority In Design Or Production.

According To Goering And The Luftwaffe High Command, They Were Supposed To Be The Fighter Elite.

Today It Is Even More Important To Dominate The . . . Highly Sophisticated Weapon Systems, Perhaps Even More Important Than Being A Good Pilot; To Make The Best Use Of This System.

The German Luftwaffe Always Fought Without Any Reserves. This Is Also The Reason Why We Have Pilots With Extremely High Numbers Of Victories.
