By David Myhra

This is an oral history of several dozens of German aviation designers and engineers that were taken to the Soviet Union in October 1946 along with their DFS 346. The information contained here-in has never been made public until now. Dr Myhra traveled to all the places mentioned and with the assistance of language interpreters Margarita Reck of Salem-Neufrach, West Germany and Gerhard Hopf of Naples, FL, was able to communicate with the German-speaking engineers and designers. These are the unedited transcriptions of the actual conversations. Very interesting material! Enjoy all 5 parts of this rare and informative conversation collection! Written and compiled by David Myhra PhD and published by Robert Walters of RCW Technology & E Book Publishing.
