correspondence chess tournaments. In December 1944, his game againstKlaus Junge had to be interrupted as a draw, when Junge left for the front. AsLuděk Pachman wrote, Nowarra shared probably the fate of his opponent, who died in the final days of World War II. [Ludek Pachman: "Die berühmtesten Spiele der deutschen Großmeister", Wilhelm Heyne Verlag, Munich 1977; p. 120] Until today, there are no news about what occurred to Nowarra.
