Rudell's claims could be easilly asumed as over the line.
But even on 10% they are impressive. On the number of missions flown, you really got a spot when you differentiated the mission duration beteween the german and the allied sides. There was an example of this on the osprey book about the Hs123. Through the battle of France, they report this plane as being the first type to stop a tank charge using only air power. There was a french column heading for the airbase where they were stationed, and they proceeded to harass and attack this column of french tanks until they retreated. I don't remember if there were any kind of tank losses there, but the point is that the planes landed and take off more than once in a single day. Something not unussual on the german side. Why the French quited the attack, the book asumes it was because of the 123's. But only God knows what really happened over there. |
