Surviving Luftwaffe Aces and the Spitfire
Can anyone help with names of surviving Luftwaffe Aces, I am particularly interested in those that served on the Western Front, who may have come up against Spitfires in combat.

Re: Surviving Luftwaffe Aces and the Spitfire
Julius Meimberg fought (and claimed) his share of Spitfires and was still alive last I heard.

Re: Surviving Luftwaffe Aces and the Spitfire
Bob is alive, as far as I know. There is a picture of him with Hajo Hermann, Walter Schuck and other pilots in front of a preserved Me109 that was taken last year.
