Heinz Ewald congratulates his wingman Gerhard Barkhorn after his 1000th sortie on the 23rd of January 1944 in Crimea.

Gerhard Barkhorn was the second-highest scoring ace in history, with 301 confirmed aerial victories. Barkhorn survived the war and attained the rank of General in the Luftwaffe (Bundeswehr), a distinction shared by several of his JG 52 colleagues. He passed away on January 11, 1983, as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident.
