Re: Hartmann: claims vs. victories
QUOTE: I can see this happening A LOT. And this also explains 4 and 5 "victories" in a single mission.
And in my opinion, Hartmann may have honestly believed his wingman, not knowing what he was actually doing. Great theory. Fantastic theory. ....And then you compare Hartmann's tally of verifiable victories with pilots whose tallies stand up much better to comparison with the enemy's records (Gabor's example of Lipfert being a great case in point). Is the realisation that maybe, just maybe, Hartmann was a line-shooter really too terrible....? Not having a dig at you, Bronc, but it's just a question worth asking.
