Major Hans "Assi" Hahn (born 14 April 1914 - 18 December 1982) was a German World War II Luftwaffe Flying ace with 108 victories and a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves (). He was shot down and captured by Russian forces in 1943, and remained a prisoner of war until 1950. Upon his release, Hahn became a successful businessman before retiring to the south of France. Hahn's memoirs "I Tell the Truth" recounted his military service and detailed life in Soviet captivity for himself and other Luftwaffe Aces like Hermann Graf.
