Thank you for the references. As I read Spanish and Italian, I will
make use of them. I was aware that Sperrle was acquitted at
Nuremberg, but that is not surprising: the Nuremberg prosecutors
were really after political and SD/SS/gestapo personnel more than
military personnel. After all, the military could (and did) justify
everything either by "befehl ist befehl" or, it was not a war crime
but rather a "mistake," "error," or "unforeeable & unintended
consequence." At least, Jochen Peiper and Eugen Gnauss
made no such claims for their behavior at Malmedy!
