I've just finished
Spitfire on My Tail -A View from the Other Side by Ulrich Steinhilper & Peter Osborne. A very interesting book indeed - what struck me was how abysmally poor Luftwaffe fighter communications were at the beginning of WW2. Galland evidently thought that wing waggling was sufficient and that radio was unnecessary.
Some insight as well into the character of much of the Luftwaffe remote from the swaggering Nazis - for example, when they invaded France they were told that any looting from civilian property would carry the death penalty. Some humanity as well - several French farmers had run off and left their cattle to their own devices, many of which were in a great deal of pain having not been milked for days. So the 'brutal Hun' actually flew in some serving farm hands to look after them rather than let them die in agony.
And if you thought the RAF drank a lot.....
