Re: Gefreiter JOHN 3/JG/27
Battle over Britain is a great book but dated with many assumptions. Later books like BofB T&N are more accurate. Such a ranked pilot was not unusual-never compare the Luftwaffe with the RAF who from a date in 1940 decreed that the minimum rank for aircrew was Sgt. irrespective of experience!
