Re: Question regarding a victory for Heinz Bär 07/08/44

Hello Johannes

Ok,his claim is on microfilm....but with a probate date ?

What I don't understand,why it was...would have been..approved?

According to the directive 55 270/41 (approval of aerial victories),it was necessary:
-of discovery of the debris (this is why units of the luftwaffe were in charge of finding them)
-witnesses

In this case,in his report (document n°88)these conditions do not exist.

So,why homologated it?....because Bär,already had a "name"?....in this case,why the OKL rejeted (? really?)its 200°vic on 04/22/44...despite a witness (Ofw.Schumaher)

Best Regards
Michel
