Re: German day fighter top aces by JG

As I mentioned, I don't think this thread or even the forum in general is the right setting to downgrade Hartmann's score.
Even the Khazanov project though being a diligent attempt, was flawed from the very onset and full of methodical errors, that's why it was chastised so much.
The matter requires a personal meeting of the most renowned specialists that results in a publication based on consensus.
I'm just an aviation fan, a non-professional, but in my profession, recently the prostate carcinoma classfication was refaced this way and now it is accepted by virtually everyone.
Some of your posts mix up opinions with facts, others are full of emotions which decreases their persuasive power.
That's why I prefer to keep on attributing the 352 to Hartmann, knowing very well that he overclaimed more or less than all the other thousands of aces in every nation in every war.
