Hi Guys

Leistungsnbücher, who produced them?, was it the pilot himself? Dahl's book matches his Leistungbuch, Ernst Obermeier seemed to have a copy, thus we have all been expecting Dahl to be claiming many late war aircraft...…..as John Foreman has always stated "once published it's cast in stone" i.e it becomes FACT. However there is no evidence apart from Dahl's own. If as the researchers amongst us have stated that he "overclaimed", then perhaps he wouldn't be above making the 1945 claims up. Though I must admit that having the rank and title he had at the end, I'm not sure there was anybody to question him if he did actually officially make these late overclaims.

I am saying that an egoist such as Dahl might have just written his own Leistungsbuch even post-war! Sad thing is that Walter Loos who is the one witness we could have asked is no longer with us.

Regards
