Hmm.
Is it also impossible to determine the number of ships sunk by Baumbach?

Larry and Co. - this self-publishing issue is a really interesting discussion in itself but a bit off-topic re Baumbach. If you're happy, I'll relocate the relevant parts to a new thread under "Books."

Nick -

...I'm especially intrested in wether Werner Baumbach sunk more ships than US patrol bomber hero Arthur Elder (19).

Circling back around to this, if the photos attached to #2 are not Werner Baumbach's aircraft, where are they???

Good morning,

I would be interested in a rudder photo of Baumbach's Ju 88, too.
Also in a list of the ships sunk by him.

Häberlen, in "Davongekommen, als Kampfflieger über allen Fronten", p. 100 - 105 describes two missions flown by his unit (KG 51) with Baumbach, who had been seconded to Häberlen's outfit for the occasion, against the Soviet fleet in the Black Sea harbor of Tuapse on March 22. and 23., 1942. There are several photos showing Baumbach, or the strike pattern of his load of bombs in the harbor. None, unfortunately, of the plane he piloted.

Good evening Gentlemen,

are we sure that Baumbach recorded his successes on his rudder at all ?

Is anyone familiar with this book?

Not me.
I wonder if he provides a table of his successes in his own book. (Rudel didn't.)
