Last rank of Heinz Bär in 1945
Hello Nef

Concerning his victory tally, I have a total of 221 victories listed for him, including 22 four-engined bombers. I have read in several instances, including on this forum, that in the closing months of the war the Luftwaffe began to not officially certify victories. Thus, credible information as to his late war victories particularly with Stab III./EJG 2 and JV 44 may be hard to come by.

Horrido!

Leo
