Does anyone know the real translated motto of the upgunned FW-190s with extra gunpods of JG-11 . A book “Defenders of the Reich” translates it as “He who fires first lives longer” but after babelfishing the phrase, it doesn’t match the german text for it Also was Oberlieutenant Erich Hondt stupid enough to fly this 6-gunned plane into a firefight with a pair of P-47s?

If you provide the German text then the German speakers among us might be able to translate it.
