Does anyone know how the debriefing/interrogation process was carried out for Luftwaffe fighter pilots after a sortie? Did the Germans do this in the same way as the USAAF or RAF?
Thanks

Re: Fighter pilot debriefing
it was probably the same; kill claims, questions about enemy aircraft (such as colours, identity marks, make and model, quantity, weapons used), questions about locations observed, flak encountered. Pilots would often throw in spontaneous replies about items seen such as enemy facilities, other Allied aircraft, parachutes seen, own losses. I expect that information recieved would be sent further up the food chain if it was perceived as important, such as new enemy aircraft encountered, new flak locations, effects of own weapons, change of enemy tactics and so on.
