Yes, and?Yes, and posting the exaggerated Luftwaffe claims is not unlike the obstinate posts of those Southerners that refer to the Civil War as; "The War of Northern Aggression". In fact, the South struck first, and in fact, the Luftwaffe claims are preposterous. Your list would not pass the test of Occam's razor.
Yes and.... Next Veterans Day, attend services at a cemetery and find a marker that has an Army Air Corps insignia on it and a date of death between 1942 and 45. Take out your little list of Nazi victories and read that list of kills over the grave. If you can.

...and posting the exaggerated Luftwaffe claims...Most of us would agree that it's a list of Nazi exaggerated claims and is just part of the other comments and images about the Nazis on this thread. What is your problem?
... is not unlike the obstinate posts of those Southerners that refer to the Civil War as; "The War of Northern Aggression".
First you attack me and then you attack Southerners. Who are you going after next?
...the Luftwaffe claims are preposterous.
Yes, that's all you had to say instead of going into the attack mode.
Next Veterans Day,...
Just who do you think you are questioning other peoples patriotism?

"Most of us would agree that it's a list of Nazi exaggerated claims..."No, most don't. Three other posters on this thread regarding the Nazi scores, claim that they are true and not exeragerated.
"First you attack me and then you attack Southerners. Who are you going after next?"
I used that as an example. You must be a Southerner.
"the Luftwaffe claims are preposterous.
Yes, that's all you had to say instead of going into the attack mode."
That's all I did say until the Jr. Luftwaffe jumped in and claimed that the scores were factuall true "confirmed" kills.
"Just who do you think you are questioning other peoples patriotism?"
Start breathing through a paper bag and calm youself. I'm not dissing your patriotism, but your lack of judgement in posting bogus data. As I recall, it wasn't even on topic.

If it's junk like your kill list, that is not the least bit related to bombs under an East German airport, go ahead and make an ass out of yourself.
As for me, I know that these claims are Nazi's bragging about the young Americans they think they killed. And not for freedom, but for sport and for Der Fuhrer. It wasn't a game of "Flight Simulator" for the allied aircrews. The blood was real.

"
Is that the stretched 190?"Yes. It's the "D" model. Came out late. Wasn't used much. Had a liquid-cooled (V12?) engine instead of the 14-cylinder radial.

Well it MUST be true.Then read it and report back to us.

Erich Hartmann would take the 109 and hand you your behind. The difference in performance between the Me109, FW190D-9, and the Mustang are insignificant if one pilot is vastly better than another.
To: elbucko
I really don't care what you post.Then why do you keep commenting on and making a fool of yourself?
It's a free forum, subject only to JR.
Remember that next time.

I agree but the mustang is prettier.

I agree but the mustang is prettier.
On that point I cannot disagree with you. I read a quote that if a pilot wanted to impress the girls he'd say he flew Mustangs. If he wanted to survive a dogfight he'd fly P-47's. The Mustang has to be the absolute hands down most beautiful piston engined fighter invented, but if I was flying back then I think I'd like that big reliable air-cooled radial engine in front of me.

Well, that finally answers the questions of all those left wing Democrats in 1945 who demanded to know "where are the fully armed planes we were told about"????

Berlin airport denies 'live bombs' claim
24 July 2003
BERLIN - Airport authorities in Berlin have denied published claims that "thousands of live bombs" from World War II lie buried underneath the city's second-largest airport.
"Just like Loch Ness monster sightings, every summer these stories surface about bunkers under Berlin filled with toxic materials," said airport spokesman Burkhard Kieker.
The latest spate of reports followed a story in Der Spiegel magazine claiming that construction of Berlin's proposed Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport could be stymied by underground toxic waste.
The story cited "newly discovered" East German Stasi secret police files which purportedly indicated that war surplus munitions and even some old aircraft with fuel still in their tanks might have been dumped into underground bunkers immediately after the war.
The new airport would replace Berlin's three over-crowded airports: Tegel in former West Berlin, Schoenefeld in former East Berlin and historic Tempelhof airport near the centre of the city.
"We've been looking into these reports since the early 1990s," Kieker said, "and so far all that has been found are a few crumbling underground storage rooms half-submerged in brackish water."

This is totally ridiculous. There were no 44 divisions on the beachheads. There was only ONE beachhead with a (ONE) first line division, and that was Omaha. The British even walked without hardly getting fired on on some of their beaches. Most of the units in France were 2nd rate. And you seem to remember the little air superiority thing. So your claims are totally laughable.

The Germans never developed laminar flow wings. I am not sure about high octane fuel either. As I recall they also didn’t have drop tanks or as good bomb sights. They also lagged behind in radar development. They also didn’t understand strategic bombing or implement it.IMHO
