History - May 2007

If you read a list of flying aces from both WWI and WWII, you find that the Germans consistently rank at the top. Von Richtofen (The Red Baron) had 80 confirmed victories, which is impressive when you consider that his actual dogfighting career was only two years long. The closest Allied ace had 75, which is pretty close to his record. When you look at WWII, however, the numbers are staggering. Erich Hartmann had 352 victories in the air, which is nearly 5 times greater than the top Allied ace, Ivan Kozuhedub, of the USSR.

My question is what do you think contributed to the German superiority in air combat? Was it their training? Was it the quality of their airplanes? Was it a combination of both? I would really love to hear ideas about this from some people who are very familiar with the subject, as it has always been a curiosity to me.

Thanks for your input.

My theory is that our western values came from Rome, Greece, Egypt, Christianity and Jews. From Judaism came Christianity. Most of the western people, Europeans and Americans white, are descendants from the Barbarians, no insult intended, that dominated the Roman Empire 14 centuries ago, converting to Christianity after emperor Constantine the Great legalized it. Because of that, the Barbarians felt "cheated" by being civilized by Christians and its founder, Jesus, was a Jew. What do you think?
