Hauptmann
Werner Baumbach (Gruppenkommandeur I.Gruppe / Kampfgeschwader 30
"Adler") in the day he met Adolf Hitler (Führer und Oberster
Befehlshaber der Wehrmacht) at Führerhauptquartier Werwolf in Vinnitsa,
Ukraine, 27 August 1942. The Luftwaffe bomber ace came to Hitler's
Eastern Front HQ after he received the coveted Ritterkreuz des Eisernen
Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern #16 ten days previously (17 August
1942). After the occasion, Hitler forbade Baumbach to fly, so he
started working on new bomber designs; among others, he helped design
the composite bomber system, Mistel.
