Excellent historical book

Understanding the title is the clue to the book. It is the name exclaimed by those who have shot down a plane which required documentation by sources other than the pilot. THe men and their stories are both fascinating and worthy of any war story. These men of the German Luftwaffe were truly heroes and men of steel. They served with valor and patriotism, although misplaced they worked harder than any other service in the military. They were only taken out of service by injury or death. This is unlike the American pilots who were for the most part taken out of flight service after a very few number of mission. The book is both a wonderful read and a view into lifes that should not be forgotten.
