Victoria Taylor - Eagle Days - Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain
We are delighted to welcome Victoria Taylor, historian and broadcaster, to talk about her fascinating new book Eagle Days: Life and Death for the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, a revelatory study that reexamines the German air force’s role during the RAF’s ‘Finest Hour’. Drawing on extensive new research, including never-before-translated letters, diaries and combat reports, Taylor offers a powerful and deeply human portrait of the men who fought for Hitler’s Luftwaffe in the summer of 1940. Through their words and experiences, she transforms our understanding of the Battle of Britain, revealing the military, political and cultural forces that shaped both their courage and their collapse. Eagle Days is a striking and original account of the air war that changed the course of modern history.
