Notability

Does not meet WP:SOLDIER & sig RS coverage not found link, just passing mentions.

No de.wiki article exists. Did not hold a significant command. Successful completion of missions is not part of SOLDIER. Please also see a note at MilHist Talk Archives for background behind the redirect. In summary, per the outcome of the discussion at Notability:People on notability of Knight's Cross recipients: permalink, certain recipients were deemed non notable and WP:SOLDIER has been modified accordingly: diff. The articles of these recipients are being redirected to alphabetical lists. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:32, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Notable due to his status as a Flying ace with a high claimed kills counts. As you can see in List of World War II flying aces - flyers with a much smaller kill count have articles - with the notability being their kill count and nothing else. Being an aerial ace (with a significant count for a particular conflict - 5 would be borderline for WWII, but would confer significance in any other conflict - mid-double digits and up for WWII is clearly significant).Icewhiz (talk) 10:02, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

B class review

B class. Readers may be somewhat confused by the lede paragraph 1 comment - 92 claimed of which 14 were in the West - followed by the lede paragraph 2 comment - 83 victories in the East. At the end of paragraph 1 you might want to mention another authority says 83 in the East and 1 or 2 in the West (as shown in the extensive chronicle). Otherwise, good work.
