Re: Günther Bertram
Hi guys,
I share the interest of Johannes in Günther Bertram. Unfortunately, his family name is also a given name, which makes it difficult to read up on him. He was born in 1920 like the mathematician of the same name, but on a different date. Cheers, Michael |

Re: Günther Bertram
From his accounts I'd have thought a few of his claims would be U2 and R5 biplanes supplying partisan groups located behind the front lines - one of the reasons for using the slow He 111 (and Fw 189).

Re: Günther Bertram
Good evening FalkeEins,
in my Günther Bertram claim list I find only two R-5's and no U-2's. However, this list might lack one claim in the He 111. Cheers, Michael |

Re: Günther Bertram
Good afternoon FalkeEins,
yes that excludes this conjecture. Thank you. Did he mean his Lancaster kill on 10/11Apr1945 when he wrote that ? Have a good weekend, Michael |

Re: Günther Bertram
...the research of Johannes Matthews and Theo Boiten has revealed two more:
29,6.43 R-5 26,2,44 DB-3 Still only three missing. Is Günther Bertram still alive? |

Re: Günther Bertram
I find Bertram's given name sometimes spelled a "Günther" and sometimes as "Günter". which is correct ?
