Re: Hptm Erhard Peters Stab/NJG 3
I don't want to start a word riot here, but since this forum is in English the use of the word "ace" is quite valid. With 26 victories Peters certainly qualifies for that status.
With due respect to Herr Spoden, I don't think many participants on the Allied side thought of the war as a game either. From everything I've ever read, Luftwaffe fighter pilots were probably at least, if not more, interested than most in "keeping tabs" of their scores.
