Erich Hartmann: 352 victories or... 80?

[Boandlgramer]

very simple calculation made by christer.

if we take the claims of the german luftwaffe: 25.000 westallied AC destroyed in combat
add the claims of the flak : 10.0000 ac

= we have a number of 35.000 ac


now lets take the losses of the USAAF for europe/africa ( just first line losses: combat and accident)
25.022 ac


add the british losses of the bombercommand ( same as above)
8963 ac
add the fighter commands losses ( don´t know the exact )nummer
3500 ? ac

(not included the french/ dutch etc. ac´s lost in combat )

we have a number about 37500 ac.


claims made by the germans ( luftwaffe & flak ) 35.000 ,
the westallied lost 37.500 .
does it prove the luftwaffe had no overclaims ?

hell, of course not.
just to show christers calculation above is simple , very simple.

but may i got it extremly wrong .
