It's also the story of how his service under Hitler was simplified and elevated to Western mythology during the Cold War. Over 1,404 wartime missions, Hartmann claimed a staggering 352 airborne kills, and his career contains all the dramas you would expect: frostbitten fighter sweeps over the Eastern Front, drunken forays to Hitler's Eagle's Nest, a decade of imprisonment in the wretched Soviet POW camps, and further military service during the Cold War that ended with conflict and angst. 600 10 $a Hartmann, Erich, $d 1922-1993. $0 (local)386183 610 10 $a Germany. $b Luftwaffe $v Biography. $0 (local)386182 650 0 $a Air pilots $z Germany $v Biography. $0 (local)386184 650 0 $a Fighter pilots $z Germany $v Biography. $0 (local)320735 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Germany. $0 (local)215092 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 (local)241010 941 $a 2 952 $l CVPA586 $d 20221101012443.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20220223011609.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56B5689C947611EC9377849E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
