Re: Gordon Gollob: The Truth?
Lets consider the fact that both Galland and Gollob had by 1945 deserved to sit on their backside by any standard.
Galland was sort of a marked man, leading JV 44 was also a way to get out of potential trouble. Yes it involved combat, no it wasn't entirely without smart reasoning.
In general the Luftwaffe had a strongly developed buddy netwerk, Alte Kameraden system...
Galland belonged to one clique*, Gollob and Peltz to another etc
