Strange case of Walter Dahl

[knusel]

Good evening FalkeEins,

these are some Konrad Bauer scores mentioned in the books:

• Aders/Held: 18 with JG51, 18 Western front, 14 four-engined, 36 total
• Forsyth: 14/32 four-engined between Apr-Aug44, 39/57 total
• Musciano: 31.10.1944 RK after 34 kills, 32 four-engined, 60/68 total
• Schumann: 18 Eastern front with JG51, 31.10.1944 RK after 34 kills, 32 four-engined with JG3&JG300, 57/68 total
• Toliver/Constable: 32 four-engined, 68 kills total

Let's assume his score of 34 at the time of the Knight's Cross receipt is valid. From Johannes Mathews we know of two claims after that date. Therefore maybe the total of 36 indicated by Aders/Held is correct (?)

Have a nice weekend,

Michael
