Points system in the West

[Nick Hector]

Well that's just it, Johannes,

That is the earliest source of the Points System that I have ever been able to find and the only other source that I have seen quoting it is John Weal...
...who, as we know, pretty much derives from Toliver and Constable.

One experiment that you could try in order to see if it really is true or not is to take a couple of westfront Experten victory lists (say, Wilhelm-Ferdinand Galland, Adolf Glunz and Johannes Seiffert for starters....) and see if what they claimed genuinely does match the criteria for the point system at the time of their RK award. A margin of error of plus or minus a few points would be perfectly understandable. A total failure to correspond would lend credence to any doubts we have....
