How about Josef Priller?  He fought the whole war in the wast and earned 100+ kills.

Or maybe Addi Glunz, he got 77 kills in the west (a few in east maybe, ill check later)  and was never wounded or shot down.

I would go with Addi Glunz,

Quote
“Addi” Glunz was never shot down or wounded in aerial combat. He was, however, wounded once on the ground when he was showered with glass from a window during an RAF bombing raid on Abbeville in April 1942

“Addi” Glunz flew a total of 574 missions, including 238 with enemy contact, in achieving 71 victories. His total includes 19 four-engined bombers. He claimed three victories over the Eastern Front. In addition to his confirmed victories he had ten unconfirmed victories, possibly as many as 15 according to some sources.


Priller knew how to bring down spitfires.

Siegfried Freytag had a helluva time with spitfires over Malta as well.

Priller scored 6 kills after October 43!!!!

Read the guys war record. First to the last and every front with great success. That was rare.

How about this guy for an every front first to the last carreer.

How many heavies he bring down? How many different fronts he fight on?  I cant consider anyone that didnt fight in the Defence of the Reich and have success to have the greatest carreer. That was the greatest test that the LW faced.

Good career for sure. But I am most interested in the guys that flew on all fronts and had success.
