Re: German overclaims in the East. Hartmann and others...

Folks,

Here is 1./SG 10 Fw 190F pilot, Oblt. Pohl’s list for 1944 over Hungary. So far he was the most reliable German fighter pilot I found (with more than 5 victories, which could be considered as a reliable ‘tendency’, not just a blind-luck with a single claim). Based on his ~100% accurate claims, Oblt. Pohl was a real ‘Lipfert category’, trustworthy (ace and) pilot:
