BOXART STORY
Heinz Bär became one of the Luftwaffe's
most famous fighter pilots and was one of
the rare German airmen the Allied press
wrote about during the war. His journey to the
cockpit of a fighter plane took him through
a job as a Luftwaffe aircraft mechanic,
a series of rejections from superiors,
violations of regulations and the cockpit of
Ju 52. He gradually worked his way up to become
a successful fighter pilot, a Staffelkapitän
and then a Gruppenkommandeur. His health
problems and exhaustion led to a conflict with
Hermann Göring in the summer of 1943, which
resulted in his removal as commander of
I./JG 77. A subsequent conflict with an NSDAP
functionary led to Bär's transfer to II./JG 1,
with which he served as a simple pilot as
punishment in early 1944, with 179 kills to his
credit!
However, in March 1944, Bär became acting
commander of II./JG 1. From February to April
he achieved 23 victories without being shot
down himself. Among the highlights in this
period are the downing of the bombers “Miss
Ouachita” and “Flak Magnet”. In both cases,
Bär's ground personnel witnessed the victories.
With B-17 “Miss Ouachita”, Bär appeared in
a newsreel. The destruction of the Liberator
“Flak Magnet” was an even more significant
event, as it was Bär's 200th victory, and a short
OKW communiqué (Bär's third) was issued two
days later about this achievement. Albeit II./JG 1
lost almost a hundred machines during the same
period. Major Heinz Bär scored his 201st victory
on April 29, 1944 at 10:56 near Braunschweig
while fighting bombers and their escorts
heading for Berlin. Bär managed to lead the
II./JG 1 formation into a frontal attack against
the bomber formation, damaging one Liberator
in the process.
Then a fighter escort of Thunderbolts
from the 359th FG and apparently Mustangs
from the 352nd FG appeared on the scene.
In his report, Bär said that after the frontal
attack in which he hit one Liberator, his unit
was dispersed by a strong fighter escort
and there were separate engagements
by Rotte and Schwarms. He pulled up and
saw below an Fw 190 with its starboard
undercarriage extended being chased by
a Thunderbolt. He got behind the Thunderbolt
and fired from above and behind at a distance
of about 150m. The Thunderbolt immediately
exploded in mid-air and the individual parts
crashed down to the ground. The impact
occurred south of Braunschweig. In the
minutes that followed, Bär's airmen claimed
three more Thunderbolts and several four-
engined bombers (including a B-24 as 202nd
victory of Heinz Bär). One Mustang may have
been claimed in this area by an airman from
I./JG 302.
The problem is that no Thunderbolts were
lost on this day, and even the Mustangs of the
352nd FG did not experience losses in this area.
However, in studying German reports of Allied
aircraft crashes, I found that one Mustang
was shot down in this area and time. At 11:00
a Mustang crashed 700 meters northeast of
Brasdorf and was so badly damaged that only
the white letter J and the numbers 3, 6, and
7 could be discerned from its markings.
From these indications, it can be clearly
determined that it was a P-51B-5-NA
43-6577 “WR
-
J” of the 354th FS, 355th FG.
Its pilot was Capt. Thomas F. Neal Jr. Until
now, it was believed he disappeared about
30 miles southwest of Berlin. In this area, he
led his Falcon Red Flight in a dive to attack
four Fw 190s, yet his wingman lost contact
with him while passing through cloud cover
and Neal then failed to respond to radio
communications. The place where Neal
actually ended up is quite far west of where
he was last seen. He probably made his way
back, perhaps joining the 359th or 352nd FG
formation and eventually dying in combat with
German fighters near Braunschweig. Of the
information known so far from the German
side, Heinz Bär's claim fits the best. Neal's
Mustang had a razor back and olive camouflage
of upper surfaces. It was therefore possibly
mistaken for a Thunderbolt. Neal was at the
top of the 354th FS at the time with 4.5 kills
and was one of its leading personalities.
Bär scored a total of 221 victories, of which
125 were over Western powers' pilots (including
16 in the Me 262), placing him second only
to Hptm. Hans-Joachim Marseille, who
achieved all of his 158 kills against RAF and
Commonwealth airmen. Further details on
this airman can be found in my three-part
article in REVI Nos. 81 to 83 and in the French
magazine ACES No. 8.
