Hi
At your website I reading that:

" Interesting point is that Bär mentioned in argument with Göring on July 31, 1943 that he was shot down 2 times over sea, but only 1 such case is known to us"

According "Elita Luftwaffe" by R. Michulec he was shot down two times:

2nd September 1940 - his Bf 109E-3 W.Nr. 3714, was damaged by Spitfire over London. After two hours Bar was rescued by German ASR.
7th September 1940- he was shot down over Channel again. After rescue he was told witch Göring by 1st time.
