German Commander List

[Horst]

It’s unfortunately not always clear enough that there are sometimes more chances to gain the same unique commander once in Blitzkrieg (BK), Panzerkrieg (PK) and Endsieg (ES). Most commanders from the Sandstorm (SS) campaign can also be earned in Endsieg.

I meant I haven't found Günther in the scenarios of the BK and PK campaigns.
I've also not checked for every (hidden) objective if there is any commander unlocked. Just tell me if something is missing in the list.

Response : PK 07, Caucasus , Secondary objective = Destroy 6 Soviet air units

The editor shows me Gerhard Barkhorn in PK07, Caucasus, under the "Establish air superiority" objective.
I also forgot Barkhorn appearing in Dunkirk.
