• Sommario/riassunto: I Flew for the Führer is an autobiographical account by Heinz Knoke, a German fighter pilot during World War II. The book provides a personal narrative of Knoke's experiences in the Luftwaffe, offering insights into aerial warfare over Europe, including the Battle of Britain and air battles over Nazi-dominated territories. The memoir reflects Knoke's initial fascination with the war and his allegiance to Hitler, akin to the Pied Piper of Hamelin, ultimately leading to disillusionment with the Nazi regime. With a foreword by Lieutenant General P.R. Quesada, the book captures Knoke's journey from a typical German youth to a courageous airman, highlighting his bravery, the propaganda he encountered, and his eventual recognition of the moral deficiencies in Nazi leadership. It is intended for readers interested in military history, particularly those focused on World War II aviation.
