Re: Me 262 kills - or more than Walter Schuck?
For your information if interested

Walter Schuck scored 206 victories and was awarded the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves. In April 1942 he was sent to the bitterly cold Eismeer Front with 7./JG 5 at Petsamo, Finland. In March 1944 he shot down seven Boston bombers in a single day. On 1 August 1944 he was promoted to Staffelkapitän of 10./JG 5. He was transferred to the West to fly the Me 262 and was appointed Staffelkapitän of 3./JG 7 on 24 March 1945. He shot down eight aircraft while flying the Me 262, including four B-17s on 10 April. He was forced to bail out on the same mission.
Kind regards
Ross
