Re: Erich Hartmann: verifiable claims
From my experience I'd say that accuracy of the claims varied both from individual to individual, from unit to unit, and from local theatre to another. Luftwaffe fighters were highly accurate against Royal Yugoslav AF in April 1941 with just a few overclaims. When they returned to Yugoslav skies in late 1943 it was another story. IV./JG 27 was notorious with its claims and Bartels more than anybody else. II./JG 51 kept a very high standard of accuracy throughout 1944.
