In the mid 1970s, Military Reformers, led by the American strategist Colonel John R. Boyd (US Air Force Ret.) and Pierre M. Sprey, became interested in the ideas of maneuver warfare and particularly the question of how to use airpower in close air support as part of a combined arms maneuver team.  Background information on the reform movement and a compendium of Boyd's work can be found at this link.

As part of this work, the reformers began a series of occasional series of interviews with a number of very prominent German officers who had practiced maneuver warfare and close air support in World War II.

Contains the original transcripts of the conversations in pdf form.

Should be interesting reading. O0
