Re: Hartmann: claims vs. victories
Craig
I do not recall any of the airmen, Galland, Hartmann, Rudel and others claiming that their log books were confiscated. All claimed that they were robbed or that the logs were stolen. If confiscated, then there should be a reference to such actions anyway, in the Allied records. I do not think anyone cared about such documents, however. Neither man claimed to destroy their logs prior to the capture, either.
If robbed, I would really expect even a single log to surface. I am not sure if any did, and certainly not a one belonging to a famous pilot.
