Re: Hartmann: claims vs. victories
Let me clarify the, "why" question.
Was this (could this have been) official (sanctioned) over-claiming for morale (press and propaganda) purposes, OR was this personal ambition, OR had Hartmann perfected a "boom and zoom" aerial combat strategy where he engaged the enemy aircraft with a burst of fire and never looked back. In essence, was he claiming engagements as kills?
