Re: Question regarding a victory for Heinz Bär 07/08/44
It's easy to sit in an armchair a decade later, and claim a pilot to make false claims. Not that it did not happen, and some of them were caught in the act. But in the heat of an air battle it was often not possible to track those you did shoot down or hit. Next were errors at RLM, and also some confirmed claims due to propagande purposes. This is not only a Luftwaffe thing. There are dozens of examples on allied side too, and the fact that a lot of gunner on B-17 and B-24 were allowed and confirmed claims from air battles due to boost the morale.
