The grain of salt that should be taken is large enough to bash the brains out of a Columbian mammoth.
So basically this guy invented some kites, that Germans were trying to use as cheaper alternative to barrage balloons. He also probably tinkered some sort of experimental aircraft out of the parts of damaged planes during the war (which isn't unusual also). Don't see much problems here.Just found this.

What, you don't believe those photos are genuine either? What evidence do you have to support that?This Rob Arndt /grey falcon/etc earned a place near the top of the do-not-trust black list of many people, by his creative admiration about German and especially Nazi "secret" inventions.
He has definitely a spot on mine.
YMMV. Like Scott wrote, a large grain of salt is in order.
When it comes to Arndt, I'd be dubious of "and" and "the." It's been quite a number of years since I've even remembered that Arndt existed, but ~20 years ago he was propping up Nazi flying saucers and Vril magic and psychic blond chicks using their long hair as antennae to talk to aliens.What, you don't believe those photos are genuine either?

You are reacting as if I was trying to tell you what you should believe or distrust.What, you don't believe those photos are genuine either? What evidence do you have to support that?
No need to tell me that!It is up to you to cross-check and make your own opinion.
It is claimed to be a cut-and-shut job, so one would expect it to look reminiscent of something else. Pending positive ID, I'll reserve judgement.The photos, that arouse my suspicion are those two, allegedly showing the "The Espenlaub Jagdflugzeug".
It reminds me to the "Heinkel He 279/519", or whatever it was called ...
