Luftwaffe "Aces"

The following is a partial list of Luftwaffe "aces" (using the Allied standard of 5 kills) that mostly flew Messerschmitts during their careers. Scoring five kills under the German system did not garner one the German title of "Experte". The title was conferred on those that only exihibited consistent excellence and leadership in combat and in which the tally of victories played a minor part. For example, a German pilot may not have been considered an "Experte" until he scored his 60th victory or more. The list is ordered from left to right alphabetically by last names, first names, and victory tally ("abschuss" or "endgueltige Vernichtung"; not award points).
