Certainly it will never see the light of day in the US...even though he was the 'enemy' his acheivements were very commendable, even after the war.

I highly doubt any future fighter pilot will ever achive the kill totals of the germans aces.

Their feats of courage, gunnery and airmanship live on now in the history books as death claims another old warrior who was just trying to do his duty as best he could......
