Enloe collection, 1933-1995.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/373873955

This collection deals with several different aspects of Cortez Enloe's life. Of significant importance are the strategic bombing surveys conducted immediately after World War II and the fall of the Hitler regime. Included are survey interviews with Herman Goering, Karl Brandt, Wilhelm Keitel, and Karl Sauer. Enloe himself interviewed Edwin Giesing and General Gebhard, Hitler's personal physicians. There is correspondence between Louis Mountbatten and Enloe and a compilation of information about Mountbatten after his death in 1979. There are also many records pertaining to the First Air Commando's, their missions in the Burma theater, and Enloe's work with those units. Enloe includes much information regarding Orde Wingate, his personality, and the crash of Wingate's fighter plane in Burma. Enloe had hoped to write a book regarding the Air Commando's and this collection contains the first four chapters of that planned book, along with notes and background data designated for other chapters of the book which was never finished.
