Hi Guys

I have had the fortune to look at the last page of Walter Loos's flugbuch basically flights from 6th March until 30th April 1945. Over this period Dahl states that Loos was witness to nine of his claims, however Loos was not airborne in any of the nine cases, also I cannot see a signature signing-off Dahls Leistungsbuch, actually who outranked him to sign it off?

However Dahl does mention 133 confirmed claims in his own publication, therefore I believe the Leistungsbuch is probably his own fiction, prior to his own flugbuch running-out he probably would be guilty only(sorry I am not trivialising his fraudulent claims) of overclaiming, yet at some point he just seems to make-up a whole rap-sheet of additional claims, I would think this would probably start when he becomes General der flieger and just gross abuses of his authority.
Probably he didn't know that claims records would not be around to contradict him, possibly just a coincidence that this helped keep his secret safe for three-quarters of a century. I would think also the Walter Loos didn't even know about his name being used as a witness.

Surely Dahl must have therefore have ben the worst unofficial over-claimer as opposed to Walter Nowotny as the worst official over-claimer, and frankly I still don't know how he did it at the end, he would be the only guy claiming with the Staff, so no sharing the fraud like he did earlier with Gerhard Loos and Anton Dobele. I would really like to know how he did it, guess it's too bizarre that he could have abused his status as Kommandeur to somehow self witness, would love to see a few of his last abschussemeldung.

Kind Regards
