Is the goal to re-write the history books? Or to see who in fact was the highest scoring Luftwaffe ace? Surely not just a Hartman witch hunt.
It would be doing everyone a disservice if Barkhorn, Rall, Kittel, Nowotny, Batz, Rudorffer, Bar, Graf and other's claims were not also given the same intense analysis and match-up to Soviet losses.

In fact we have already talked on Nowotny's early claims and problems with some of Rudorffer's claims. Also on Lipfert's claims and Gabor has wrote on German claims over Hungary in 1944/45 incl. Düttmann's claims etc.
