They were trained by Hans Wind.

Porsche made good planes

America's best pilots were teaching the newbies.

Because krauts are autistic

Fins are very resistent people for sure

Stalin had mass produced tactical "anti-ground" planes for years, as he was expecting to destroy all enemy airfields in a surprise attack while the "fascists" and "capitalists" were busy waging war on the british isles after a successful Operation Sea lion. Turns out, tactical anti-ground planes are shit when they don't get the first strike.

This is why millions of missiles for the Stalin Ogles turned up from nowhere, the missiles were produced for the planes. But they weren't useful as plane-equipped anti-tank missles at all as the Red Army didn't manage to strike first and thus get Air Superiority.

any answer that is not this answer is a burger educated memeanswer

Tradition Finnish medicine is: "If pine tar, kossu or sauna will not cure it, the disease is fatal."

So, yeah, if a Species can survive til modern times with that kind of thinking, they are resilient creatures.

The soviet planes sucked ass, and the americans would rotate out their pilots, the aces would be pulled out and sent to train the recruits to share their experiances and teach them what they learned in the air

Russia threw everything at the German Offensive which meant outdated and underperforming planes compared to what the Germans had at the time. This combined with undertrained pilots to throw into the meatgrinder, the Germans got really good at fighting Russia in the air. Also a point to add, Germany didn't take all their best aces back to train new pilots like most Allied nations did. These reasons allowed for crazy air kill numbers.

German pilots got their training in spain, poland, france, yugoslavia, greece and great britain before they crushed the almost untrained soviet airforce

every time they went up against a new enemy with no combat experience, while retaining all lessons from the previous campaigns.

>More training than anyone but American pilots
>Started fighitng earlier than anyone else (except our boy Erich Hartmann, who was top of the list)
>Flew energy fighters in a disiciplined manner against turn fighters
>had better altitude performance than enemy fighters
>Russian pilots learned to fly the day before often times and were shit
>Russians didn't have radios in their planes for hte first couple years so couldn't use team work
>A lot of Russian planes didn't even have gunsights for the first couple years

Germans pretty much figured shit out in the early war

It's like you numbnuts are incapable of asking "why" questions. You don't need to train for dogfights if you expect to destroy all enemy airfields in a gigantic surprise attack and then just strafe lone tanks as your own tanks roll into Europe. And that was what Stalin was planning for, that was what he was training his armada of pilots for.

This is the truth. And if it is the truth (it is) then Hitler was right to attack first.

What the hell do you need 10 000 tactical bombers and fighters bombers for? What the hell do you need 4 000 amphibious tanks built for speed? It certainly is not defense.

Because most of their wins were aganist the Soviets flying on wooden coffins.

A very precise people

>Triple-ace in a day
>To achieve this a pilot must have destroyed 15 enemy aircraft in a single day. This has been achieved by only five pilots, all from the Luftwaffe.
Meth.

the absolute state of Soviet aerial combat

Will to power

Because they were fighting to save their people while the other side was fighting to murder innocent civilians.

Excellent training,Excellent equipment , high Esprit de Corps !

Before the war the Germans were on the bleeding edge of aeroplane technology.
They were the engineering and chemistry leaders of Europe at the time.

Based and redpilled.

They got so little training because they needed a ton of people really quickly and didn't have time to train fighter pilots, especially fighter pilots who were illiterate and going to be flying outdated planes
