List of aerial victories claimed by Oskar-Heinrich Bär

Oskar-Heinrich Bär (25 May 1913 – 28 April 1957) was a German Luftwaffe flying ace who served throughout World War II in Europe.^[2] Bär flew more than one thousand combat missions, and fought in the Western, Eastern and Mediterranean theatres. On 18 occasions he survived being shot down, and according to records in the German Federal Archives, he claimed to have shot down 228 enemy aircraft and was credited with 208 aerial victories, 16 of which were in a Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter. Sources credit him with 220 – 96 on Eastern Theatre and 124 on Western Theatre – up to 222 aerial victories may also be possible.^[3]^[4]^[5]

List of aerial victories claimed

According to US historian David T. Zabecki, Bär was credited with 221 aerial victories.^[4] Obermaier also lists him with 221 aerial victories.^[6] The highest figure is given by Aders and Held who list Bär with 222 aerial victory claims.^[5] According to Spick, as well as by Morgan and Weal, Bär was credited with 220 aerial victories.^[7]^[8] Mathews and Foreman, authors of Luftwaffe Aces – Biographies and Victory Claims, researched the German Federal Archives and found records for 208 aerial victory claims, plus 20 further unconfirmed claims. This figure includes 95 aerial victories on the Eastern Front and 113 on the Western Front, including 14 four-engined bombers and 15 victories with the Me 262 jet fighter.^[9]

Victory claims were logged to a map-reference (PQ = Planquadrat), for example "PQ 05 Ost S/FN". The Luftwaffe grid map (Jägermeldenetz) covered all of Europe, western Russia and North Africa and was composed of rectangles measuring 15 minutes of latitude by 30 minutes of longitude, an area of about 360 square miles (930 km²). These sectors were then subdivided into 36 smaller units to give a location area 3 km × 4 km (1.9 mi × 2.5 mi) in size.^[10]

♠ (Ace of spades) indicates those aerial victories which made Bär an "ace-in-a-day", a term which designates a fighter pilot who has shot down five or more airplanes in a single day.

– (dash) indicates unconfirmed aerial victory claims for which Bär did not receive credit.

* (asterisk) indicates an Herausschuss (separation shot)—a severely damaged heavy bomber forced to separate from his combat box which was counted as an aerial victory.

! (exclamation mark) indicates those aerial victories listed by Prien, Stemmer, Rodeike and Bock.

# (hash mark) indicates those aerial victories listed by Mathews and Foreman.

? (question mark) indicates information discrepancies listed by Prien, Stemmer, Rodeike, Bock, Heaton, Lewis, Mathews and Foreman.
