over the Western Allies. 96 of his subsequent victories would be scored over the Soviet Air Force.
His 20th victory earned him the Ritterkreuz with the Oakleaves following his 62nd on 14 August
1941 – a lapse of only 5 weeks. His 90th victory brought Heinz Bär the Swords on 16 February

after Hans-Joachim Marseille the most successful Luftwaffe pilot against the Western Allies. Heinz
