Called up to the Bavarian Army in 1915, he initially joined a field artillery unit before transferring to the Luftstreitkräfte as an artillery spotter. From 17 July 1918, Baur was credited with a number of victories against French aircraft, attaining ace status and receiving the Iron Cross I Class. After the war, Baur served with Freikorps Epp and later pursued a career in civil aviation. He joined the NSDAP in 1926, and on 1 April 1931 was the pilot at the helm of the inaugural Berlin-Munich-Rome flight, with his passengers going on to include Tsar Boris III of Bulgaria, composer Arturo Toscanini, and Nuncio Eugenio Pacellia (later Pope Pius XII). At this time, AH, having noted the efficiency of air travel in making stops for multiple rallies and events in the same day, hired Baur as his pilot for his 1932 election campaign. After becoming Chancellor, the Führer retained Baur’s services as his personal pilot for private and professional travel. To ensure his authority as a member of his personal staff, AH directed Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler to commission Baur as a Standartenführer of the SS in October 1933. He later oversaw the acquisition and development of a fleet of aircraft for the Führer’s personal use, and, reflecting the pair’s close friendship, was invited to birthday celebrations at the Reichs Chancellery and gifted with a Mercedes vehicle. Near the end of the war, Baur received promotions in the SS, being elevated to SS-Brigadeführer on 31 January 1944 and SS-Gruppenführer on 24 February 1945. Present in the Führerbunker during the Red Army’s final assault on Berlin, Baur devised a plan for AH to escape the city via aircraft, but the latter’s remaining associates were unable to convince him to flee. After the Führer’s suicide on 30 April, Baur attempted to flee the city with others who had taken shelter in the bunker, but was wounded by Soviet gunfire, resulting in the amputation of a leg, and was subsequently taken to the USSR as a high-profile prisoner. Given his long-time friendship with AH, and proximity to both him and other top officials, Baur was subjected to intense interrogation while in captivity. He was ultimately released in 1955, before being briefly imprisoned by French authorities. Finally released in 1957, Baur retired to private life and wrote a memoir detailing his career as the Führer’s pilot. He died in Herrsching, Bavaria on 17 February 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280882184469,"sku":"G56588","price":14000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/MNC0892_716dff65-689b-44e3-98ef-2fb15179580a.jpg?v=1717511598"},{"product_id":"germany-luftwaffe-a-pair-of-unissued-tropical-luftwaffe-field-service-trousers-for-enlisted-men-g56424","title":"Germany, Luftwaffe.
