At that time Schroer’s fighter bore just four victory symbols on its rudder. By February 1943, he had increased his tally of kills to 60. Schroer ended the war as Kommodore of JG 3, defending the Reich - his tally had risen to 114 victories (including no fewer than 26 heavy bomber kills) by May 1945.
