Re: Erich Hartmann: 352 victories or... 80?

DefiniteLY Khazanov article doesn't have enough strong points to prove that most Hartmann's victories are overclaims. Obviously it would be a subject for a big book not a small article.

It's also clear that some sentenses of Khazanov critics look naive and obsessively.

Seems that cold war propaganda still keeps some minds. The remark about russian archives -"a) the disparate & incomplete nature of the Soviet archives precludes any objective analysis - who shot down who, a "dangerously romanticised" version of the air war " doesn't look just "strange at least" - as Andrei Dikov mentioned - in reality it looks ignorant, arrogant and represents the remark's author as an absolute neophyte.
