It is easy to fall for the old mistake of not realizing that there were many more targets in the air bearing allied insignia, than there were german. moreover, by 1943, nearly all german aircraft in the west were fighters, whereas, in 1943 at least, nearly all Allied aircraft over enemy territory were bombers. So, doesnt the fact that the Germans were shooting at unescorted bombers most of the time have something to do with these impressive kill rates?
