This Hartmann mess needs to be exmined in detail to show if he was a fraud or not. The claims records vs losses records are available some people need to try and match them up. A posting on this site some years ago noted that VVS combat losses were slightly lower than german claims during the year 1943 so it looks like Hartmanns claims for this year at least may be at least halfway or more right.
