Re: Michael Wittmann

Actually, from what I can glean from my readings, the Germans never counted planes on the ground and could only claim a "kill" if it was verified by at least 2 others....either a ground source saw it crash or another airman saw it go down.

All Hartmans were air to air.

If no one could claim it then the kill went to the unit.
