I wonder how much of these sort of accidents attributed to poor flight discipline could be the result of youthful exuberance and/or lack of judgement. I haven't read much in the way of personal memoirs by Luftwaffe pilots but I can't imagine they were that different to the young men on the allied side & cemeteries around the UK & training airfields in the USA, Canada & other Commonwealth countries associated with the Empire Air Training scheme bear ample witness to the examples "poor flight discipline" of the young men on the allied side.
