Hello Rogerio,

There was an Uffz. Albert Bauer who flew Bf106Gs with III./JG76. He was KIA on 25 Aug 44 near Reims, France. Here is the following information that I have on Bauer on that mission:

Uffz. Albert Bauer

11./JG 76

KIA

Bf109G-6

413649

Yellow 1

Reims area

I looked up the serial number and my lists show 413649 as a G-6 model, although most records show it was a G-14 model. III./JG76, escorted by 12 Fw190A-8s of I./JG26, met up with 23 P-38Js of the 474th FG between Beauvais and Creil, France. Bauer was likely shot up in this fight and crashed near Reims which was near III./JG76's airfield at Athis.

III./JG76 was hastily formed from a Bf110 RVT unit, II./ZG 1, in July 1944 to augment rapidly depleting fighter forces in Northern France. III./JG76 did not fare well and was quickly absorbed into JG53 as IV./JG53 on 25 Oct 44.

It is a good guess that Bauer may have been with II./ZG 1. I suggest you check to see what records there are on this group.

Cheers, Gary Koch

Thanks For your help Gary. I had infomation about a Albert Bauer that survived the war. I think I'll have to keep looking. I got the informatiom from his granddaughter and I was trying to confirm what he did in the war because his granddaughter can't tell the difference between two planes, so the stories she told me have a lot of blanks to be filled in.
Thanks again for the help
Cheers
Rogerio

The W.Nr. 413 649 was an so-called "G - 6MW50". In principle was this the first designation of the G - 14.
