Hi Nick

Thanks for your comment.

I would guess that something was needed to reward the destruction of the U.S heavy bombers. Twenty "kills" in the West used to warrant a Ritterkreuz award, but twenty "viermots" was exceptional. But I to have never seen anything official, and the book you mention was not on full of typo errors, but also general errors, and I must confess what looks like made-up stories.

Kind Regards

Johannes
