People often badly overestimate the regard in which Goring was held, contemporaneously, by the German public. Over a dozen German aces survived the war with double Goring's victory count, and nearly forty survivors bettered it. Did Goring's fame exceed Udet's? Greim's? Lothar von Richtofen's? von Schleich's? Bongertz's? What evidence do we have for that?
