Last sortie of Robert Wolter II/JG77

[Nikita Egorov]

Greetings!

Could anyone help me with the details of Robert Wolter's last flight on October 2, 1942? In his interrogation protocole he stated that he had been captured after air collision with his own wingman. However, there some hesitations as Soviet documents indicate air combat with fighters involving Wolter and his wingman. Who was his wingman in this sortie and did he return to base after combat? What was the official German version of Wolter having not returned from this sortie?

Regards.

According to Dr. Prien's work, volume 2, pg 1186, the wingman was Uffz. Heinz Vogt, Bf109 G-2 wnr 13835, he was originally listed as missing but later returned (if I understand the notation correctly).

The Namentliche Verlustmeldung for Uffz. Robert Wolter reports;

"Am 2.10.1942 in der Luft zusammengestossen und mit Fallschirm abgesprungen".

He baled out after a mid-air collision.
