I think you'll find it was Goering who asked "Dolfo" Galland that question. Goering was apparently speechless with rage at Galland's answer.

Spitfires
The dig started two days ago near to Rangoon airport.Mr Cundall (team leader)said the planes were buried in crates and are worth £2million each.He added "we expect them to be in first class condition".However Andy Brockman,a freelance archaeologist who is part ot the team said that they could be badly rusted.So it's now a matter of wait and see.

Spitfires
I see the search team have located a crate.The team has lowered a camera into the box but it is full of dirty water so last night they were still trying to determine exactly what is inside.
