Yep. He qualifies as a panzer ace. Good to know.

I learned about him from playing a mission in Combat Mission, actually.

At the rist of over-stating - the Americans, like all others in the war, had their share of aces. I think the frequent post-war focus on German "uber-legends" is a bit skewed :hmm:
