Herbert Bareuther:RK or not?

[focusfocus]

Hello

There seems to be some confusion about getting or not the RK and its last victories with 14/JG3
In my archives ( far from being complete! ),he would have been shot down (8/44 ?)arachuted wounded and captured by Partisans (truth ?)

When was he transferred to IV/JG 3?

Has it obtained the "RitterKreuz" or not

Thanks in advance
