I wounder if any of them every went head to head? Nice to see that veterans can get along after World War 2, but now days, you fight an enemy you're always an enemy.

BTW nice pic.

...nope they never went against eachother.  Though GR served briefly with II/JG11 "Reichsverte" it is doubtful they ever crossed paths.  Only 3 of his 275 kills came on the western front (II/JG11) and he was shot down the very same sortie he scored them in.  Hed did almost get Zemke that sortie and did get two of his jugs.  He lost his thumb in that fight and pretty much rode it out with JG 300 until his capture by the americans.  But who knows...in that chaos who saw who...?

Great pic.

Probably a greater chance Schuck might have crossed paths with them.  While 198 of his kills came on the eastern front he did score 8 over Germany near the end, in a 262.

"Reichsverteidigung"

Too long for the text Buffer.  "Homeland defence"  or closer..."In defense of the homeland."

Hey, VermGhost, look me up sometime. I fly with the knights in the Late War Arenas. I come from Eureka, CA, too.
