Soren said:FLYBOYJ said:If Hartman was a liar, why did the Russians put a 10,000 ruble price on his head? Why did local VVS units label his aircraft "The Black Devil," why did the Russians imprison him after the war and try to charge him for the deaths of close to 500,000 Soviet citizens? Hardly the treatment for an 80 kill ace. And as mentioned, his wingmen confirmed 90% of his kills. How can someone make such an outrageous statement just boggles my mind! The guy who wrote that article is an idiot, I bet never served in an air force and never flew or worked around an aircraft. An "armchair" historian who sits on his brains!
Agreed
And why then did they charge him of shooting down more than 300 Soviet a/c ?
Hartmann was NEVER a liar ! And I would without doubt even dare to say that a whole 95% of his confirmed kills are 'actual' kills.
---------------------------
And for Shadar,
Don't ever believe these Soviet dream-stories that try to degrade German scores, as they are all dirty lies !
The German confirmation system was the most strict and most accurate of WW2 ! On the other hand the Russian confirmation system was as inaccurate as almost can be, and relied heavily on unreliable partisans !
The Soviet ace Ivan Kozhedub doubtedly got even half of his kills
For example: Some soviet aces with scores from 30-40 kills, didnt even get 10 kills in reality ! All this has been established by looking in German loss-records, which 'again' are the most accurate of WW2.
Btw I actually remember Charles presenting a site commenting this Russian "fantasy-writer"=Khazanov: http://members.aol.com/falkeeins/Sturmgruppen/hartmannclaims.html
Now who's the liar ?
In any case there's one thing you can be VERY sure of; The German confirmed kills are MUCH MUCH MUCH more accurate than the Soviet ones !
------------------------------
As sidenote: The W-Allies had a comparable confirmation system to the German one, but a little less strict by comparison.
In any case there's one thing you can be VERY sure of; The German confirmed kills are MUCH MUCH MUCH more accurate than the Soviet ones !

This has nothing to do with attitude, its just fact.
The U.S. played a HUGE part in defeating the Nazi's !
The British, Canadian, french etc etc... troops all fought equally well and with just as much determination as the U.S. troops, but there's only so much one relatively small country can do.
Without the U.S. involvment there would be no D-day, no landing in Italy, no huge scale bombing of German industry = German victory in Russia.
And I dont think I need to tell you what would happen if Russia was defeated, now do I......... Britain would fall within the next year ! (If not sooner)
me262 said:i read somewhere that before the allied landings, stalin ask the allied powers to open a new front, i.e. the landing in normandy, cos he was not sure if the could stope the new german summer offensive.
also , rusio got a LOT of war material, including tanks, ammo, planes , vacum tubes and more important truck, which the russian lack

Incorrect
Actually it was wrote by the russian "historian" Dimitri Kazhanov, wich is not an idiot , but a clever guy, wich handles and modificate the truth with maquiavelic effect.
I dont blame it, must be hard that a single german pilot blasted away so many fellow countryman.
Aniway, he failed in his purpose of make Hartmann a mediocre pilot simply because he wasnt.
mosquitoman said:The Russians simply overpowered the Germans on the Eastern front, Britain held on so there was a base to launch offensives into mainland Europe and America supplied everyone with everything- from men to Liberty Ships. Each of the main Allies deserve praise for different things
mosquitoman said:So it's taken us 2 pages to say that no Hartmann wasn't a liar and that all the Allies deserve equal praise, wasn't it worth it
Sure?
Remember BoB (Battle of Britain):
RAF only shoot down 65% of their claims
OKL shoot down only 30% of their claims
Who's the liar?.
Don't believe the german propaganda also, where is the documents which proves that 352 kills, just when the Germans lost the iniciative.
But 1 more thing, how many of you read that article?
Shadar_Logoth said:Historical Archives are open (paying) in Germany and Russia, in Russia since 1992, many writers and studients could see that files. I'm not talking about military secrets, only historical files.
The USA made a great effort in defeating germany, but soviets made THE BIGGEST EFFORT.
I repeat again, Germany lost the 70% of his military and economic power in the east front, germany produced more planes than never in 1944 (and tanks also)... see the data about DDAY and battles in East Front like Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk, Kiev, Leningrad or the Balatton offensive.
Lean and leasing from USA was the 4% of the soviet production, it's an important help (which was paid, of course), but is not so important to say that without USA germany would have won the war.
Imagine Germany with 7 million soldiers more (casualties in East Front) with all the equipment lost in the East, do you think that DDAY would have been the same?
