Luftwaffehelfer[edit]

Since he was engaged to a woman, shouldn't she be adressed as a "Luftwaffehelferin"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roeinerd (talk • contribs) 17:53, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

sourcing[edit]

The account of the Natter test, and in particular the claim of Sieber (inadvertently) achieving supersonic flight, needs better sourcing in my opinion. If this is true, it is of great historical significance, and yet the claim seems not to be repeated elsewhere. As it stands, the claim seems to be sourced to an excerpt from a book which states that "No one knows exactly what occurred that morning", and further says that "there are those who were present as Sieber's Natter shot from the clouds, rocket motor screaming at 600 miles per hour and accelerating, who claim they heard the demon's voice: a boom that would later be recognized as flight past the speed of sound". "Claim". Hardly a ringing endorsement. Possibly Horst Lommel's books (in 'further reading') have more to say on this, but frankly such an extraordinary assertion needs better evidence, and multiple sources. As for the rest of the account, much seems speculative too, and contradicts the account of the flight given in the Bachem Ba 349 article, which cites several more sources. 86.133.149.178 (talk) 00:19, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
