wow!

that pretty much sums up the insanity of war; shot down 6 times but survived.
I thought that the FW/La-5 story was interesting; I have read about how a Soviet ace in a La-7 and a couple Mustangs mixed it up by mistake. I think both sides lost a wingman before they realized they were on the same side.

Another thing I never knew of was that the Soviets just disarmed some Germans and let them go (sort of like US in early days of Iraqi Freedom); I guess they knew the war was as good as over.

Something that I find confusing: only 12 rounds per cannon? I think American and Russian 37mm guns had on the order of 30 or 36 rounds. Why so few on the Stuka?
