Re: identification of the Normandy-Niemen victories : overclaiming my friend!

I think comparing to the Soviet units could be interesting, as they were operating within the same system, though the one should put into account the number of missions and engagements.
Concerning the Lutwaffe, in 1943 it was forced to withdraw as many as possible units to Reich defence. Still the technical superiority allowed them hit and run tactics used to minimise losses. Soviets had no choice, being on receiving end, usually, and only sometimes able to strike back. Add to this Soviet doctrine, and it explains the results.
