Re: Verification Process for Tank Busting Claims
On a side note, do remember that much of the Luftwaffe specialist "Tank busting" was done in defensive battles, stopping armour that had broken through German lines or in very close support of the army. The wrecks would have been on German occupied ground or very near to it. That was the nature of fighting, as for the verification, I don't know for certain, but the ground troops would probably have been able to verify the bulk of claims.
Did you know that tanks (AFV) kills could be counted as air kills late in '45?
I didn't...
Quite surprised to find that bit information.
