Heinz Nowarra
Heinz Nowarra was a German chess master.
Nowarra tied for 4-6th in Berlin City Chess Championship in 1938, shared first with Berthold Koch and Paul Mross at Berlin 1938, tied for 15-16th at Bad Oeynhausen 1938, tied for 9-10th at Berlin 1939, and took 10th at Berlin 1940,
During World War II, Nowarra played in several tournaments under the auspices of General Government. He finished fifth in 1941 and second, behind Mross, in 1942 in the Kraków City championships, tied for 10-12th at Kraków/Warsaw 1941, tied for 7-8th at Krynica 1943, took seventh at Radom 1944, and finished fifth in Kraków in May 1944.
Nowarra took also part in correspondence chess tournaments. In December 1944, his game against Klaus Junge had to be declared a draw, when Junge left for the front. As Luděk Pachman wrote, Nowarra probably shared the fate of his opponent, who died in the final days of World War II. To this day, there is no news about the fate of Nowarra.
