Heinz-Helmut Baudach (7 September 1918 – died of wounds sustained on 22 February 1945) was a former German Luftwaffe fighter ace during World War II. He is credited with 20 aerial victories, including four four-engine bombers and five victories while flying the Messerschmitt Me-262 jet fighter.[1] On 22 February 1945, Baudach was shot down near Schönwalde in Me 262 A-1a (W.Nr. 110 781). He bailed out, but struck his head on the tail unit and subsequently died of his injuries.
