Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I tukuna a Barkhorn hei herehere o te pakanga i te 3 o Mahuru 1945. Kātahi ka hoki ia ki Tegernsee ki te hui tahi ki tōna whānau. I reira, i uru atu hoki ki a ia tona whaea i kaha ki te mawhiti i Königsberg
He aha? I te Oketopa, ko te mahi tuatahi a Barkhorn hei kaimahi awhina ki a Linhof, he kaihanga kāmera, kei Munich. I muri iho i te tau, ka whiwhi mahi ia i Grünwald. I mutu tana mahi i Grünwald i te 1949. Whai muri i te wa poto o te kore mahi, i haere ia ki te akoranga i Volkswagen i te marama o Noema 1949. I te marama o Tihema, i utua ia e "Auto Junk", he kaihokohoko Volkswagen i Trier, i te tuatahi hei upoko mo nga ratonga hangarau mara. E wha tau i muri mai, ka whakatairangahia a Barkhorn hei tumuaki mo te whakahaere whare me te ratonga.
