Re: Last rank of Heinz Bär in 1945
Thank You for the explanation, Leo. I also prefer 221 victories for him (125 in the West and 96 in the East).
One more thing about Pritzl’s last rank; it’s well known that Hartmann was promoted to Major on May 8th 1945 – so I think there would be some tracks in credible sources also if Bär would be promoted at the end of the war.
But, in the really last days, after injuries of Galland and Steinhoff and missing of Lützow, he took command over JV 44 and – I think – there was no time for celebrations, he had bigger worries then his rank...
