To be fair to Der Dicke, he was a WWI ace, not exactly Boelcke or Richtofen territory, and most of his pilots hated him because he was an arrogant stuck up idiot, but as anyone who has played a WWI flight sim knows, 22 kills is still an achievement.
Otherwise though he was a pompous stuck up arrogant idiot who deep sixed any chance the Luftwaffe could have had of victory and sabotaged the Wehrmacht and Kriegsmarines attempts to have the Luftwaffe co-operate with them. Well, except for the 17-20th May 1940 where the Stukas and Hs 123s of VIII. Fliegerkorps worked extremely well alongside Guderians Panzers to blast a path to the coast. This was how the CAS of the Luftwaffe should have worked, good radio links between the ground troops and the air troops, but as Oberleutnant Seidemann put it "never again was such a smoothly functioning system for discussing and planning joint operations achieved".
