When I plan the podcast episodes I don\\u2019t usually sit down and look at the subject and how it relates to those episodes around it, hence we\\u2019ve often found ourselves in the pacific in quick succession.

In this instance it seems serendipitous that we\\u2019re going from looking at the fall of France, in the last episode, to looking at the experiences of German fighter pilots in Europe. The two topics compliment one another rather well.

Joining me is Patrick Eriksson.

Patrick is the author of Alarmstart: The German Fighter Pilot\\u2019s Experience in the Second World War. Since the 1970\\u2019s Patrick has been an associate member of the German Air Force Veterans Association interviewing and corresponding with former members of the Luftwaffe.
