I'll aim to do this in the next few days. Cheers

Toolbox check -- no dab or EL issues.

Structure -- I just added a subheader/section for Eastern Front to balance the Western Front subsection.

Prose/content -- as always, let me know if any problems with my copyedit; other points:

  • "Lemke claimed his 57th victory on 7 September 1942, and his 59th victory on 11 September." -- this kind of begs the question, "what about his 58th victory?"
  • "On 27 December, he rammed a LaGG-3 in combat." -- wow, this really cries out for more explanation, for instance why did Lemke do it (accidental or deliberate?), where did the planes strike each other, did Lemke bail out or manage to retain control of his plane, what happened to the Soviet plane, etc.
    • It was not deliberate, so I added the word "involuntarily". Right now, I don't have more info on this account MisterBee1966 (talk) 09:37, 19 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Images -- licensing looks okay.

Referencing -- sources look reliable and fixed some minor formatting issues but:

  • Obermaier's Die Ritterkreuzträger der Luftwaffe Jagdflieger 1939–1945 is translated as The Knight's Cross Bearers of the Luftwaffe Fighter Force 1941–1945.
  • Weal 2013 doesn't seem to be cited, so should either be removed or transferred to a Further reading section.
