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

Not necessarily, RolandF, especially not if you view his personnel records as a portal for continuing research. Once I had the copies, I would look at his 1942-45 performance evaluation reports for evidence of what happened. I would then look for any reference to a medical or psychological evaluation and, if there, try and obtain copies of his medical and related records from the Krankenbuchlager in Berlin. This can be done if one is tireless, persistent, has the time and is willing and able to spend a few Euros along the way.

But the one thing I would not rely on is the second-, third- and fourth-person "opinion" that fills the published literature as some here have suggested. We have already seen several versions of what happened just in this thread here. So if he relies on the several published accounts, he'll never get to the bottom of it. This is assuming that the "paper" he speaks of is a graduate-level paper and not a 10-page high school theme paper. If it's a 10-pager, then lots of luck.
