There seems to have been some Luftwaffe pilots that liked to have gun camera aircraft. I know that Wolfgang Spaete had clips from his gun camera in his book "Top Secret Bird" but now that I've read these posts it could have been from when he was CO of IV/JG54 because two of the three shown are the eastern front. Spaete also qoutes a letter he wrote in the book "Since we last spoke, I've been stuck at 92 victories. Actually, I've had three more. I had to withdraw the first claim because of a lack of witnesses. But I got the next one confirmed without any problems. I was already looking for my 94th when the RLM department responsible for the recognition of aircraft victories discovered I had been credited for one kill in 1941 and another in 1942 that they could not officially recognize. I still don't know why. So I'm back at 92 confirmed victories again. For the third time!" This was in 1944.
I was told by someone on the board that the RLM didn't use camera footage to credit victories but only for the purpose of pilot training, Is that true?
