Nice fact about ''Pips''
Josef "Pips" Priller
Josef Priller flew 1307 combat missions to claim 101 victories. All his victories were recorded over the Western Front, and consisted of 11 USAAF heavy bombers, 68 Spitfires (the highest Luftwaffe ace's tally for these aircraft),11 Hurricanes, 5 medium bombers, and 5 USAAF fighters.
and ofcourse whats apotrayed in the movie ''the longest day'':
Priller was a popular commander with his men, and, in spite of a reputation for talking back to his superiors
