Description below the video: Hans-Ulrich Rudel was the most successful German ground attack pilot, and probably the most successful ground attack pilot in the entire history.
He flew 2530 combat missions, where he destroyed 519 tanks, heavily damaged the Soviet battleship Marat, sunk the cruiser Petropavlovsk and the destroyer Minsk, and more than 70 landing crafts.
Additionally, hes destroyed hundreds of trucks, gun emplacements etc.
He was also the only Soldier to have ever been awarded the Knight's Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds.
He was shot down over 30 times, but survived the war and moved to Argentinia in 1948.
He died in 1982 and is burried in Dornhausen, Germany.
This Interview was held after he was shot down on February 25th, 1945, while attacking Soviet tanks that crossed the Oder River.
