Negative Positive
Title: Memoir has historical anachronism about aircraft
Review: This memoir describes a German helicopter attack on the author's Soviet Partisan unit in 1944. This sounds unlikely, as the Germans had produced only 39 of the experimental 8-passenger Fa 223 (1942), the only helicopter they made that carried a machine gun. Few survived; Allied bombers destroyed the factory. The Germans had ground attack airplanes, but a helicopter attack is unlikely. Helicopters were developed to their full military potential after WWII. Was this a linguistic error or faulty memory by the author? The publisher should have caught this or attempted to verify the unusual use of technology.
