Re: Ludwig Nitsch 38 "kills"...?
Hi Stig
Regarding JG 54 and the B-17's, I agree very unlikely, but not impossible Gunther Toll of JG 52 got one in 1945........very unlikely, but happened........but then again three sounds very unrealistic/fantastic.
In my opinion no claims for the man. Lets face it, it's based on his hearsay only.
At this stage of the war fuel was hard to come by, sometimes only the best pilots were allowed to fly. Why would this unknown/new pilot be the top scoring pilot of 1945. I believe Helmut Lipfert was charged with wasting fuel by taking-off without permission, but it was a case that an emergency flare had been fired by mistake.
Kind Regards
Johannes
