One of the best fighter aces of all time, if not the best, good drawing there of him

Great dude! I read this guy's last known interview on the internet somewhere. It was very long and he spoke about meeting the Fuhrer as well as his time captive by Soviets. Very interesting man. 


Great drawing! (At first glance though I thought it was Obama! XD Sorry!)

I am really happy that you like it! ... Yes, he was definitely interesting man... one of my favourite WWII heroes. Is he similar to Obama?... on this drawing maybe a little bit, I haven't thought about it in this way

Shape of the face, shape of the ear; he smiles like that, too. He does look rather like Obama, although I didn't notice it before I read the comment.

Haha, I don't intend to be mean but I thought exactly the same, especially in the miniature (now in full size it's not that similar) - "why the fuck is Obama in German History group"

But I've once seen a pic of Goebbels where he looked like Obama, so maybe everybody has a pic like that DD

Hehe me neither, just struck me when I saw the portrait!


352 Victories is no small feat. Also his choice to stay with his men and be a POW for 10 years instead of a free man was very selfless.


Keep up the great work!
