I'm sure they did in the Wehrmachtbericht and the Deutsche Wochenschau, but of course, Germany lost and so they became the 'bad guys' and it's only now that their pilots are beginning to get equal recognition. Although it's certainly not to the extent that people like Manfred Von Richthofen have achieved since the First World War, after all, few common people know of Barkorn, Hartmann, Marsielle and Priller but everyone has heard of 'The Red Baron'.
