German overclaims in the East. Hartmann and others...

[Nikita Egorov]

We are researching history, not politics, personal attitude or something like this. If one has handful of accounts from both sides, he could draw a picture as regards to matching claims and losses.
The problem starts from the accuracy of those accounts, e.g. my thread on Brandle's 100th victory below. If nobody has definite answer on this, how it be possible to find out something on less distinguished flyers, taking into consideration that different claim lists sometimes contradict each other. Despite all this conclusions should be drawn, otherwise history research is of no sence at all. Get rid of emotions, place facts, back them with available documents and let the readers deside for themselves who was fraudster, dreamer, reliable claimant etc.
