Re: Uffz Bauer 10./JG 51-Konrad Bauer

Some clarifications on BAUER's score :
1) The 68 victories list (incl. 32 viermots) is not documented; therefore difficult to take it as a serious reference...
2) The 54-57 victories list , make evidence of some obvious confusions:
- the 18 victories upon arrival in JG300 (15 East +3 in JG3), are changed in "18 East";
- double-counting of the JG3 victories (3 became 6)
- Double-counting of the July 1944 victories in JG300 (double-counted in June: this is explained in the JG300 chronicle by LORANT/ GOYAT page 201)
Last but not the least, it did not match with other WW2 initial sources (RK for 34 victories, etc)
3) The 36 victories comes from the Tony WOOD claims list, and are fully documented (as the fictious claims) in the JG300 chronicle above :
- 15 East victories;
- 3 with JG3 = 18 victories before arriving in JG 300;
- 18 with JG300;
- RK for 34 victories;
- Few flights only (therefore few victories only) after being wounded in October 44;
The JG 300 chronicle gives clear explanations regarding all claims/ victories/ erroneous double counting, and took source directly from JG300 pilots including BAUER himself before he died, therefore should be the nearest to reality...
It leads to a 36 victories list, including 18 viermots and 5 P51
(I tried to attach the final score in JPEG format, but seems rejected ?)
Hope it clarifies the matter
Dom
