Wow!!! Incredible stuff sorrow!!!.
That quote from your Opa's diary regarding the Fw190s has caught my attention (heh, how not!
). quitting factory-equipped MW50 or GM1 systems from Fw190s!! That is a proof that Fw190s WERE fitted with them from factory!...and in a date as late as April 45!.
Also, the story regarding Hartmann is really interesting. He was the Ace of Aces, the biggest Ace in history...and to share a night with him listening his stories...wow.
It's nice, too,that thanks to that diary and your opa's notes you'll know him a bit better than you did. Dont feel sorry about losing all that when he was alive. If he didnt talk too much about it, then is not your faultnor your family's. Now you have his thoughts and experiences and somehow you'll get to understand and know him better. You dont know how much rich you are!
Keep on putting more stuff here, please, Sorrow. Really wonderful information and reading!!!
