Long read, but worth it.  The Soviets simply worked to death the German POWs.  All that work for 4.4 ounces of bread each day?  No wonder so many died.

Just like 3.3 million Soviet POWs who died in German captivity.

Did you know that Dulias shot down 3 I-16s in 1945, an a/c the Soviets had stopped using.

He also shot down a Spitfire when based at Aachen with JG53 even tho JG53 was never based at Aachen.

That thread is funny and sad at the same time.

Big fraud and imposter.  Who knows what he really did during the war, but he sure didn't fly 109s and shoot down 5 aircraft.

They're ripping him to shreds.   Check out the photo of "him" next to "his" 109...     If that's not a model then I'm Howard Hughes.

Are you guys saying everything on the internet isn’t true?!

Apparently being a WWII veteran imposter is not uncommon.  Good grief.
