Oblt Paul-Adalbert Bärwolf, 3/NAG 13

[Chris Goss]

The above was shot down by Flak & POW 19 Jul 44. However:

1. He claimed to be the first German pilot to spot the invasion fleet on 6 Jun 44. Apart from what he wrote post-war (he became a journalist and died 20 years ago), is there any evidence to support this?

2. On 15 Jun 44, he was apparently shot down in his Bf 109 by P-47s near Bayeux. The only claims by P-47s were by 361 FS/356 FG SE of Rouen-can anyone substantiate the date and location?

In addition I actually own Barwolf's Wehrpas and can confirm, or should be able to, based on the entries that he went down on 15/6/44. I will take a look this evening.

Do you have anything else on Barwolf?

I am aware you have his Wehrpass but have nothing further apart from what I have posted earlier

Hope your French is better than mine......

I have not seen this-obviously where the rest if the Bärwolf items went! Interesting nonetheless

[Spanferkel]

Yes rather interesting for me as well so I need to thank you for rattling me out of my slumber on this group. These groups as you know are always getting broken up, a shame to be sure.

It substantiates his EK1 which I was not sure was a legit entry in his WP and I notice he had a combo FF/ BO abzeichen also not listed.

Hopefully more will surface.

Well,

It seems nothing more than extracts of what you have read before Chris.

Where did the author get this WNr.710091/Gelbe 13? Any Idea?

Hello Franck,

Werknummer is from an ULTRA-report in HW5/515. As for code, I have no clue.

Hello,

Thanks Nick, that’s what I believed I understood following your note on page 2: – “Note: From the known examples above, the number against each aircraft corresponds to its tactical marking.” - Hence WNr.750 091 was “Gelbe 3”… But I wasn’t sure.

Regards, Franck.
