    • The chances that Stigler was National Socialist would be less than 50%. Is it known whether he was one?

    Interesting point: I just presumed that because he was in the Luftwaffe, he was a nαzι (i.e., since he was fighting for them).  Whether that was his personal ideology or not, I cannot say.

    • Most of the National Socialists were honorable. There are many stories like the one above.

    • If I recall correctly, German pilots were the more formidable fighter pilots, as attested by their over-all kill ratios.

    Of course, this isn't admitted to or discussed much by the victors of the war

    They were in the fight from the beginning and therefore the ones that survived racked up some large kill numbers.
