Let's agree to that:

In the early 1915 air-to-air combat was still an remarkable event. On Feb 5 and April 3 an agressive attacking Pégoud met several opponents who received some bullets and got very impressed by Pégoud's superior flying ability.
Without being wounded or damashed the Germans prefered the flight and landed quickly on own territory, watched by Pégoud and some other witnesses. The legende was born on both sides and forced the Germans to send one of there best man,
Kurt Wintgens, to the Alsace to counterpart Pégoud.
