Two Questions Hope Yea Can Answer

My Firs Question
What were the requirements for entering the Luftwaffe as a single engine fighter pilot? Like what kinda education did yea need and such and so on.

And my second question
Why was the kill points system only used on the western front? It says that Soviet airplanes were easier to shoot down. Does that mean if a pilot claimed a kill he got it without witness? What were the requirements of getting a kill recorded on the Eastern Front.
