Thanks for your learned response to the Stigler story. As a matter of fact, my uncle, Major Dr. Albrecht Ochs, was 'Abschuss-Offizier', or officer responsible for processing claims, at this time with JG27. I never spoke with Franz about the controversy, and what part my uncle might have played in it, but I do know that if my uncle smelled faking claims, there would have been trouble. As for the Charlie Brown story, both Stigler and Brown garnered a lot of publicity, both in the local and international media, over it, to the extent that the French government even awarded Stigler a high decoration.
