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.

True, but IF the readings of the sources are correct, many of those ground attack missions were disrupted and aborted by Allied fighters, and prevented from causing TOO much damage to allied interests, while the same can't be said about the Axis fighter force.
