Subordinates' opinions of Hans Dortenmann;

Guys:

I recall from reading The JG26 War Diary that towards the end of the War, Hans Dortenmann was one officer within III/JG54 & JG26 who was still pursuing decorations & 'Glory and Honor', even given the situation with defeat imminent...I was curious if anybody under Dortenmann's command ever commented on flying with Dortenmann---obviously he was a VERY skilled pilot but at the same time his actions would put his subordinates in a LOT of unnecessary danger;

Hope this question isnt' too silly sounding;

TiA
