Oblt Paul-Adalbert Bärwolf, 3/NAG 13
 

The above was shot down by Flak & POW 19 Jul 44. However:

1. He claimed to be the first German pilot to spot the invasion fleet on 6 Jun 44. Apart from what he wrote post-war (he became a journalist and died 20 years ago), is there any evidence to support this?

2. On 15 Jun 44, he was apparently shot down in his Bf 109 by P-47s near Bayeux. The only claims by P-47s were by 361 FS/356 FG SE of Rouen-can anyone substantiate the date and location?

In addition I actually own Barwolf's Wehrpas and can confirm, or should be able to, based on the entries that he went down on 15/6/44. I will take a look this evening.

Do you have anything else on Barwolf?

I am aware you have his Wehrpass but have nothing further apart from what I have posted earlier

I have not seen this-obviously where the rest if the Bärwolf items went! Interesting nonetheless

Re: Oblt Paul-Adalbert Bärwolf, 3/NAG 13
 

Yes rather interesting for me as well so I need to thank you for rattling me out of my slumber on this group. These groups as you know are always getting broken up, a shame to be sure.

It substantiates his EK1 which I was not sure was a legit entry in his WP and I notice he had a combo FF/ BO abzeichen also not listed.

Hopefully more will surface.

Well,

It seems nothing more than extracts of what you have read before Chris.

Where did the author get this WNr.710091/Gelbe 13? Any Idea?

Regards, Franck.

Hello Franck,

Werknummer is from an ULTRA-report in HW5/515. As for code, I have no clue.

W.Nr. 710091 is identified as gelbe 3 in ULTRA CX/MSS/T182/24.

The loss of this aircraft on 15 June 1944, "shot down by 6 Thunderbolts", is given in CX/MSS/R229(C),16. There's no location or pilot name but I tied it in with Bärwolf because Frappé's book lists him as wounded on that date (as the only 3./NAG 13 casualty).

ADI(K) No. 373/1944 says Bärwolf was shot down east of Lessay at 15.00 hrs. on 19 July 1944. That puts him about 60 km west of Bayeux and nowhere near Rouen. He and his Rottenflieger had taken off from Angers.

Regarding 6 and 15 June, see the attached extract from the ADI(K).
