301 victory ace, Ritterkreuz mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern (Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords) holder and Gruppenkommandeur II./JG 52 Major Gerhard Gerd Barkhorn in front of his Messerschmitt Bf 109G. On 23.1.1944 he became the first Luftwaffe pilot to fly 1,000 missions. His final tally was 1,104 sorties and as one of only two men in history to claim 300 victories, it's inexplicable why he wasn't awarded the Diamonds to his RK.

Barkhorn: If this plan goes down the drain, where should we regroup?

Rall: The afterlife, I guess.

Adolf Galland (1912 - 1996). He started his aviation career with a sail plane, winning many competitions. After school he was one of the very few accepted into flight school and successfully graduated. For around a year he flew commercial flights between Germany and Spain. As part of the secret re-creation of a German air force, he was recruited to join the army. After basic training he was part of the first Luftwaffe, training new pilots at the (still disguised) military flight training school at Schleißheim. In 1937 he volunteered for the Condor Legion and went to fight in the Spanish civil war. He participated in WW2 from start to finish, distinguishing himself during the Battle of Britain. He earned the Eisernes Kreuz mit Eichenlaub, Schwertern und Diamanten.

He reached the rank of Generalleutnant and was the General der Jagdflieger (General of the fighter pilots) from Dec. 1941 - Jan. 1945.

He was part of the "Verschwörung der Jagdflieger" (fighter pilot conspiracy), when many of the aces were unhappy with Hermann Göring and tried to reinstall Galland.

After trouble with the Gestapo and ostracized by Göring, Galland asked to create a fighter squadron of aces equiped with the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft Me-262 (Jagdverband 44). Many of the highest ranking aces were members: Gerhard Barkhorn, Günther Lützow, Johannes Steinhoff, Walter Krupinski (to name a few).

He was credited with 104 victories.

After being wounded in April 1945 he couldn't continue flying and waited for the end of the war.

Yeah sure he was Van

Heck, another fucking "Oh Van also knew this guy" because Barkhorn is already another fucking established character (though not as established as Renne)

Because apparently being a dominion of the Gralsritter and the teacher / predecessor of Gaius isn't enough
