About the claims .. some squadrons had bad reputation and some pilots also, now it is possible to verify that cuestion, JG5 overclaims i think 3:1 or + but others are more reliable like JG77 or JG26 not all are liars....

Also other pilots of other countries are liars...see the list of
reliable and overclaimers....

we only speak here about pilots that in and after 2ww were in the right-wing political extremists, luckily there are fewer than I thought with hollywood movies over the years, so I recommend movies like Stalingrad.......

i think it´s not good to discuss political thoughts.....
here in Spain many republicans could not return to Spain until Franco died,
more than 30 years later, i do not understand how people here can defend Franco after all that is known....but i said in Galicia where i live my great uncle would play fight on the side of that dictator, because either they do or they are killed like Republicans, anarchists and communists....
and i say no more

hello'
yes hollywood his mainly to blame-just checkout the tuskergee film out
and that film'from 1947-(fighter sqn-) All Nazis-sorry'that was what was put in the film regarding all german flyers in the movie;..
I was young boy' my father had german POWs germans-they worked for us in our works-than go to fight with hitlers armys.as they said to my father''we rather be a POW-
No' not All the german armys were politicallly minded..say luftwaffe 10% had them..but i know nothing..as some do here, and they do reserch on germans bombers too. as A full time hobby..?

hi,
thanks for calming the minds....
I just wondered who the pilots thought in this way, fortunately it seems there are few cases...
Stalingrad is for me one of the best war movies... the eastern front as seen from the other side.

Yes, on overclaimers list appears some of my favourites pilots of german side in 2ww like Philipp, Wick...but I'm not so angry,
i have even made ​​models of wick see my photos
if someone wants to exchange information of some kind
send me a message.
kind regards to all
