Some people think that Germany's high record is because the calculation method is different from that of its allies. However, Senior Colonel Toliba, the author of the book "German Fighter Ace" published by 1977, pointed out: At that time, the German confirmation record was serious, and its strict procedures were no less than those of the US military, and it was carefully checked. The so-called "astronomical records" are credible. His reasons are as follows: first, the German army is surrounded by enemies, and the defense line is very long. Pilots can fight with the enemy freely, unlike some allied pilots who frequently attack but fill the air again and again, so there are many opportunities for attack. Second, on the eastern front, especially in the early days of the war, the performance of Soviet aircraft and the quality of personnel training were not high, and the Germans once occupied an advantage in these two aspects. Third, most allied pilots only fight on the front line for six months to one year, unlike German pilots who have fought on the front line for many years, it is easy to accumulate air combat experience. When the Germans attacked and shot down an enemy plane, they were only allowed to admit the record of one of them. If there is any dispute, it will be filed by the Shanghai Stock Exchange in the army, and the individual will no longer own it. Records must be confirmed by camera guns or circumstantial evidence, otherwise they are invalid. So a strange phenomenon appeared. Garland, the air combat authority, would rather give up the attack because there was no circumstantial evidence in the air. Some achievements have to be reviewed for a long time before they can be recognized. Because the Germans have different targets in the east and west battlefields, they have different evaluations of their achievements. In particular, the record of shooting down large (bombed) aircraft in the western battlefield is highly evaluated.
Germany's trump card is generally concentrated in the air force, and the top three are:
1, Major E. Hartman
1born on April 9, 922, 1940 enlisted, mainly using the model Bf- 109. In 1400 attacks, he carried out more than 800 air battles and was shot down or forced to land 16 times, but he was never injured and had a brilliant record.
2. Lieutenant Colonel Bourcq Hollen
Born on March 20th, 2009, 19 1939 joined the army, mainly using Bf- 109. I was shot down 10 times with a record of 30 1.
3. Major Lal
19 18 was born in March, and 1936 joined the army. His main model is Bf- 109. Once paralyzed after the injury, he is good at sidestepping. After 63 1 strike, he created 275 soldiers.
In order to prevent allied air raids at night, Germany invested a certain number of fighter planes to intercept at night, so many trump cards for night fighting were born. The top three are: Major H.W. Shonaufa, Night Record 1, 21; H. Rand University, at night 102, at 8: 00 during the day; Major H.S. Wittgenstein, the record is 83 nights.
