This man's life was an inspiration;<br />not only for his abilities, but for<br />his unfailing gallantry and forti-<br />tude.<br /> Hartmann served not only at the Eastern Front, but in North Africa,<br />where in one day of multiple sor-ties, he had seven kills !<br /> It should be noted that due to<br />shortages of pilots, the Luftwaffe<br />needed them to serve for "the duration", and to fly multiple<br />sorties day after day, resulting<br />in numerous of them having very<br />high kill counts. (Read the book ! ) <br /> After Maj. H. was released from<br />prison, he re-joined the Luftwaffe,<br />and was priviledged to fly U.S. -<br />made F104 Starfighters, VERY high-<br />performance fighter jets. I'm sure<br />it felt like time-travel to him;<br />going from 350 mph ME 109's to <br />1400 mph jets.Robert Mapesmisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00169639432695080050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324176019881275668.post-70244972696747036672009-03-16T08:17:00.000-07:002009-03-16T08:17:00.000-07:00IT WAS COMMON PRACTICE BY US-ARMY IN AGREE-MENT BE...IT WAS COMMON PRACTICE BY US-ARMY IN AGREE-<BR/>MENT BETWEEN STALIN AND HIS WESTERN ALLIES TO<BR/>HAND OVER AFTZER WARE ALL GERMAN PRISIONERS OF WAR WHO CAME FROM THE EASTERN FRONT BACK TO THE SOVIET UNION, THERE ABT. 75 % OF THE PRI- SONERS DIED DURING SLAVEWORK OF UP TO OVER 10 YEARS.
