...This guy must have made a pact with the Devil to survive all that. I bet he died in bed, aged 93, with a stripper in one hand, and a bottle in the other...

@spottydog4477 Hans Ulrich Rudel actually was a Nazi Party member, though it dosen't make him any less skilled.

Hans Ulrich-Rudel was a Natzi for a last day of his life,,

A very common misinterpretation. I have read quite a few books (cannot name one off the top of my head) and a vast majority of German Soldiers, especially those within the Wehrmacht condemned Nazi Hate crimes and the killing of civilians, especially Jews. There are instance of Generals being transferred from the Eastern Front due to them expressing their disgust at the murder of civilians and even men in the SS that refused to kill innocent people. But, im sure there are just as many guiltyof it

@spottydog4477 lol Rudel was definitely 100% nazi. he even lead the neo-nazi party after WWII. not all pilots were nazis, in fact i believe most of them werent, notable example is the top ace of all times erich hartmann

@MrMogwa unprecedented criminal actions? casualties of the stalinistic terror regime are estimated to up to 100.000.000 over the decades (+). the nazis deserve to rot in hell, but just because there wasn't always good media coverage of mankind's atrocities doesn't mean there weren't any. still paying the native americans reparations?

@sabbathian among his air victories was Lev Shestakov, russian fighter ace and hero of the soviet union. beaten by a Ju-87...
