A few things.

Quote:
In OTL the German demand about LW PoW was done during the early Armistice talks. This shows how much the LW cared to get its crews back because there was a severe shortage of experienced crews.


Not necessarily. It could show that or it could show by Goering a carrying for his men or a desire to get back as many as possible to get back into battle against Britain. Its the difference between 1 month and experience and 2 months and no experience.

About the PoW impact, I am frankly in doubt about some conclusions made by mark. This implies a NON FRICTION world.


Could you elaborate on this a bit?
