Also, iirc, wasn't he placed in charge of fighters for the Luftwaffe? I also seem to remember somthing like he clashed with Goerring (sp?) and was demoted to the command of JV44. Sorta like the Brer Rabbit... "Please don't throw me into that briar patch!"

I would like to protest. He was a pilot and did fly planes with black crosses .. therefore 'I' am correct also:D
