Re: Barkhorn: claims vs. victories
According to data published in "Drei Falken der III./JG 52 auf der Krim im Luftkampf um die Kertch-Halbinsel", from November 1943 till April 1944 Barkhorn definitely shot down 28 Soviet planes, he could have brought down 13 more (it is unclear if these fell to his guns or some other pilots or flak) and overclaimed 31 times (either no corresponding loss at all or minor damage to his opponents). Pretty impressive, still, from so far published researches based on Soviet archival data, it seems that Otto Kittel has been the actually most successful Luftwaffe pilot.
