Robert Pautner of III/JG26
Pautner disappears from my JG 26 files after his injury, and I don't now if he returned to combat. The Luftwaffe personnel files have opened up a lot since I fought many losing battles with the WASt in the 1980s & 90s. Someone may have newly-released data to share on this board -- I'd be interested in anything that turns up.
(Incidentally, the original identification of Pautner's a/c in the gun camera film was my own, using my usual criteria: matching date, location, and circumstances, and no contrary data. As we know, there are no guarantees in Luftwaffe research.)
