Jagdgeschwader commanders - statistics

[Knusel]

Hi there gentlemen,

in WW1, there were 9 Jagdgeschwader commanders, who varied greatly in duration of command and scores of their JG's during their command.
This list ranks them according to the unit tally under their command divided by the duration of their command.

1. Wilhelm Reinhard 176 kills (75/month)
2. Oskar von Boenigk 146 kills (61/month)
3. Hermann Göring 186 kills (45/month)
4. Gotthard Sachsenberg 101 kills (43/month)
5. Bruno Loerzer 375 kills (43/month)
6. Rudolf Berthold 184 kills (34/month)
7. Manfred von Richthofen 274 kills (31/month)
8. Adolf von Tutschek 20 kills (14/month)
9. Eduard von Schleich 12 kills (9/month)

The reasons for the in part surprising ranks are open to debate.
