Whats tediously?

 

[lesofprimus]

The length that we have been discussing the Rohna. Theres a seperate thread now concerning this horrible sinking......

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeah I saw that.

 

[Monkeysee1]

Dude... we all know the greatest American Killer in the ETO was the P47...

Hello?

 

[lesofprimus]

Actually it was probably cigarettes.......

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

or just good ol' fashion american ignorance...........

 

[lesofprimus]

Might even have been that damn British Tea tho....

All those records seem to have been destroyed in 1945, so unfortunatly, we'll never know the whole truth...

 

[plan_D]

It was English women and their STDs actually...

 

[lesofprimus]

Actually, I heard it was the French whores, I mean women, and their canker sores........

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I think it was a mix of field rationed coffee and woman.....

Looking in wrong direction? I haven't read the complete thread so someone may have said this already for "top American Killer".

In ETO it was probably an unnamed U Boat commander and in the pacific the Jap that sank the Indianapolis is probably up there and the commandant POW camp in Phillipines or Tokyo ranks up there as well.

The fighter pilot is way down the list I would suspect

The top B-17/B-24 shooters are probably the best ones to look at for LW, depending on matching the KIA to the pilot. Egon Mayer for example

Actually no, and at the end of the day my example was one man with a team behind him - as a U-Boat Commander.. whereas an Egon Mayer was in a single engine airplane (or Eder, etc) and flying all by his lonesome...
