Man I bet the dead WW2 soldiers are watching and laughing at themselves being turned into their Female sides by the Japanese animators LOLZ.
Hans Joachim is saying, "Cool I got Hawk like ears and tail, long hair and panties for pants?". "What has Japan done to me?" same goes for the rest of them.
Because of her ingenious dogfighting skills and almost luminescent beauty she's been called both "the Star of Africa" and an Ultra Ace pilot.
While her inability to control her own powers often meant collisions and damage to her surroundings as a child, a fateful encounter with an instructor had her aim for the Airforce academy.
Highly daring in her personal life, she eschewed formation tactics for lone assaults, which quickly became a problem in martial discipline; after transferring to the North African front, well away from central Europe and Civilization, she began to acquire a sort of detached calm.
As far as her marksmanship goes, she's been evaluated as having the absolute best aim: it's been said that it looks as though "Targets just jump into her line of fire".
As of 1942 her confirmed kill count was just over 100, however because of the type of Neuroi appearing in Africa, primarily large, formidable solo entities, her score could effectively be considered to be two or even three times higher.
In October of 1942, while engaged in fierce combat in a prototype striker unit, she suffered the highly unusual, and tragic, "death" of her Eagle familiar.
She lost her Familiar Support Unit when the output of her Magic Circuit went out of control, causing an arcane fire in the Magic Circuit Housing, though companion aircraft helped her to withdraw from the battle safely.
She mourned the death of her familiar, who was her comrade-in-arms, and buried it in a small grave marked by a stone pyramid at the edge of the combat zone.

1st Lieutenant (Oberleutnant) Hanna-Justina Marseille (Image is from '42) Service: Karslander Air Force (Karlsländer Luftwaffe) Familiar: Steller's Sea Eagle
Extraordinarily skilled in air combat, and with stunning looks, she is an ultra ace called the "Star of Africa".
When Marseille was young, her powers were too much for her to control, a trouble-causing problem child who clashed with those around her, but after meeting one teacher who changed her life, she set her sights on joining the air force.
Even in the military she continued causing problems with her rowdy lifestyle, and her disregard for formation fighting led to her engaging enemies on her own. However, while serving in north Africa far from European civilization, she became much more composed, and even aloof.
She is often regarded as humanity's most skilled marksman, such is her skill that it almost appears as if her targets dive into her line of fire by themselves.
Her victory count by '42 was over 100, but while the number of Neuroi appearing in Africa was relatively low, comparatively more threatening and even formidable types of Neuroi appeared compared to those in European skies, and thus her score is often said to have a value of two or three times higher.
In October 1942, during a fierce battle in a newly-arrived Striker, Marseille's eagle familiar "died" in a freak accident. Without the familiar's magic support, the engine output could not be regulated, and the engine burst into flames, while Marseille was saved by her wingman and evacuated out of the battle.
Mourning the death of her war companion and familiar, Marseille had a small pyramid-shaped grave-marker constructed directly below the site of the battle.

The US and Britain did have as many "Super Aces" as the Axis powers did because they rotated top pilots out of the fight and into the classroom to teach new pilots the ropes. As such, there are nowhere near the number of real high scoring pilots for the Allies. This is probably why you don't see many from the Allied powers.

Chuck Yeager wasn't even chosen for being a particularly high scoring ace. If Chuck hadn't broken the sound barrier, I wonder who they would have chosen instead. The majority of those super ace German kills were obtained from killing poorly-trained, poorly-built Russian planes that Stalin dispatched en masse. Easy kills.
