Re: Major Heinz "Pritzl" Bär - What happened exactly?

Obermaier notes that he was shot down or crash landed at least 18 times. I recall photos of one of his aircraft in North Africa overturned and mauled (not certain if he was pilot at time). But as previously mentioned, the strain of combat, loss of friends, and the personal danger is sure to make anyone crack.
