<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 2971950, member: 77704&quot;]I remember reading in a &quot;Airpower&quot; magazine about luftwaffe pilots scores in WW2. When &quot;Bubi&quot; Erich Hartmann surrendered to the Americans, he was asked about his decorations. He explained to them that he got the Knight&#039;s Cross/ Oakleaves/ Swords/ Diamonds for shooting down 352 enemy aircraft in combat, from 42-45. They found this a fantasy, how could a German pilot have had 352/ compared to the top USAAF ace (Bong) 40! Later on they found these reports were real, and that there were 35 with 150 victories or more<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Kurt Welter flying a ME-262 nightfighter is the world&#039;s all time top jet ace with 63 victories. These will records will never be equalled.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
