Re: Hartmann: claims vs. victories
Hi Michael
Diligent research. Please not that almost all previously thought accurate claims for Hartmann, and Barkhorn for 1945 are no longer tenable. With Barkhorn we think that Hans Ring was playing a little game..........again. If Barkhorn had 229 out of 300/301 actually confirmed through research, and tending to "over-claim" as he approached "300", "over-claiming" as he approached "300" was because the information of his claims at this time were incorrect, the 229 is very likely now over 250. With Rall and Kittel believed honest, but not every one correctly claimed, it is likely that Barkhorn was in reality the highest scorer, and first to "250", and Rall first to "150" and "200", but we cannot change official history, despite their scams Hartmann and Nowotny will always be the leaders. Keep well Johannes
