Re: An Historically Accurate Luftwaffe Aces Book?
I'm not sure that the Luftwaffe was so concentrated on the high score of his fighter pilots, my opinion is that book writers and readers are.
The Luftwaffe flew far more ground attack missions than fighters ones. The activities by fighter bombers units (SG) has few covering, except for Chris Goss books, compared to the fighters ones. But even the fighters units were often ordered to attack ground targets rather than chasing enemy planes. As for establishing the real score of German aces, some published works exist, but the task is just huge, no need of conspiracy to explain why it has not been done. |
