The German interrogators thought Lautenschlager was a 'plant' to test
their procedures. The Luftwaffe did this from time to time to determine
the accurateness of interrogators. They soon determined that
Lautenschlager spoke flawless German and could not believe he was an
Allied airman. It was the other members of the crew that changed their
mind, they of course, did not know the Germans thought Lautenschlager was
a Luftwaffe Officer and soon inadvertently convinced the Germans
Lautenschlager was their pilot. |
