This is an amazing piece of history for sale by an eBay seller in Germany: the Post War Luftwaffe Uniform and decorations of Lieutenant-General Günther Rall (10 March 1918 – 4 October 2009). General Rall was the third most successful fighter ace in history. He achieved a total of 275 victories during World War II: 272 on the Eastern Front, of which 241 were against Soviet fighters. He flew a total of 621 combat missions, was shot down eight times[2] and was wounded three times. He fought in the invasion of France, the Battle of Britain, in the Balkan Campaign and over Crete. He began the conflict as a young Second Lieutenant, and was a Major and Geschwaderkommodore of JG 300 at the surrender. [3] He claimed all of his victories in the Messerschmitt Bf 109. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCnther_Rall
