Since he was a well trained professional (and experienced) pilot of the Luftwaffe since 1934 he managed to survive this useless war. He served as a flight instructor until the late stages of the war until they started to use those important multipliers for defending the scattered German cities. Therefore he had the chance to fly with nearly everything of the Luftwaffe inventory (except the jets).
