Don't be an Assi

Can somebody translate? Include on the page and here? Trekphiler (talk) 06:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unknown word

In the 2nd paragraph of the World War II section, the words "new ransferred Jagdfliegerschule" appear. Is the word "ransferred" merely a typo for "transferred," in which case some indication of where it was transferred from should be given (or simply leave it out)? Or is it a word that I am unfamiliar with? PKKloeppel (talk) 12:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Demyansk Pocket?

I added the "Dubious" tag to the paragraph about Hahn's capture, as Demyansk Pocket was eliminated on 21 April 1942, while the subject was captured in Feb 1943, according to the article.

Hahn documented his experiences as a prisoner of war upon his return in his narrative "I Speak the Truth" ([Ich spreche die Wahrheit] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)). The book begins with his last combat mission flown on 21 February 1943 and ends with his return in late 1949.^[1] According to his own account, on Sunday 21 February 1943, Hahn intended to fly to Riga for a meeting with the Luftflotte 1 (1st Air Fleet) commanding staff. Since he had not planned to fly operationally, he did not wear his regular combat dress and did not carry a sidearm that day. On his way to his aircraft, he ran into his wingman, Max Stotz, who informed him that the Heer (German Army) had just requested fighter support over the Demyansk Pocket.^[2]^{[dubious – discuss]}

The article on the Demyansk Pocket could be clearer, but the German forces did not retreat until March 1943, which fits the timeline. ÄDA - DÄP VA (talk) 04:33, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
