"Against Russians. He never would have had that many on the western front."
Somehow I knew someone would come up with that crap.
Those inferior Russians, right ?

I count 10 fighter pilots from the Soviet Union well in front of a certain Mr. Bong from the US of A way down on that list as the first non Russian Allied fighter ace.
Hans-Joachim Marseille was Germany's leading ace against western allied forces with 158 Air Victories when he died in 1942. That would equate to 316 Air Victories until 1945 in theory.
Western Arrogance of self seen superiority against the rest of the world never fails to amaze me.
The truth, however, looks slightly different.
Especially nowadays, with the Not So United States and the Not So United Kingdom as dying/dead beacons of western dominance over the world for the last few centuries.
