Once deprived of their Bf 109 escorts, the German bombers were acutely vulnerable to the predations of British Spitfires and Hurricanes. © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com he story of the German Luftwaffe (Air Force) has been an abiding focus of military Thistorians since the end of World War II in 1945. It is not difficult to see why. Like many aspects of the German war machine, the Luftwaffe was a crowning achievement of the German rearmament programme. During the 1920s and early 1930s, the air force was a shadowy organization, operating furtively under the tight restrictions on military development imposed by the Versailles Treaty. Yet through foreign-based aircraft design agencies, civilian air transport and nationalistic gliding clubs, the seeds of a future air force were nevertheless kept alive and growing in Hitler’s new Germany, and would eventually emerge in the formation of the Luftwaffe itself in 1935. The nascent Luftwaffe thereafter grew rapidly, its ranks of both men and aircraft swelling under the ambition of its commander-in-chief, Hermann Göring.

    ADLERANGRIFF in Scandinavia and focused on action over eastern Scotland. With bases in Western Europe, Luftotte 2 concentrated their efforts on eastern England and Luftotte 3 was to focus on western England and Wales. Fighter wings armed with single engined aircraft (Jagdgeschwader) during the spring of 1940 were taking delivery of the modernized Bf 109E-4, which were equ-i pped with a pair of 20mm MG FF/M cannon in the wings, instead of the MG FF that was in the Bf 109E-3. The redesigned cockpit canopy allowed for the installation of a larger armoured plate behind the pilot’s head, and for the easier installation of an armoured windscreen. However, this version still did not offer the option of a long range tank under the fuselage. This resulted in limited range for the Bf 109s used against England, and the Bf 109E-7, which did accommodate a drop tank, did not come into service until after the Battle of Britain, in November 1940. The older E-3, with two cannon and two 7.92mm machine guns, and the ‘light’ E-1 version, armed with four of the 7.92mm guns, were, surprisingly, in production until August 1940. To facilitate the Bf 109’s use as a ghter-bomber, German aircraft manufacturers were producing the E-1/B and the E-4/B, equipped with fuselage racks for 250kg bombs. Another modication, albeit less common, was in the installation of the DB 601N engine, rated at 1175k. So-equipped aircraft were designated Bf 109E-3/N or E-4/N, and required the use of 100octane fuel, C3.

    Breaking Point — Readers’ Guide Readers’ Guide Breaking Point — Readers’ Guide ABOUT THE NOVEL Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war (Winston Churchill) The hour will come when one of us will break—and it will not be National Socialist Germany (Adolf Hitler) And now the hour has come … It is August, 1940. Hitler’s triumphant Third Reich has crushed all Europe—except Britain. As Hitler launch- es a massive aerial assault, only the heavily outnumbered Fighter Command and the iron will of Winston Churchill can stop him. Johnnie Shaux, a Spitfire fighter pilot, must summon up the fortitude to fly into conditions in which death is all but inevitable, and continue to do so until the inevitable occurs... Eleanor Rand, a brilliant Fighter Command mathematician, must find her role in a man’s world. She studies the control room map tracking the ebbs and flows of the conflict, and sees the glimmerings of a radical break- through… Breaking Point is based on actual events in the Battle of Britain. The story alternates between Johnnie, face to face with the enemy, and Eleanor, using ‘zero-sum’ mathematical theory to evolve a strategic model of the battle. Their parallel stories merge as the battle reaches its climax and they confront danger together. Breaking Point — Readers’ Guide ABOUT THE AUTHOR John Rhodes was born in World War II while his father was serving at an RAF Fighter Command airfield in southern England. After the war he grew up in London, where, he says, the shells of bombed-out buildings ‘served as our adventure playgrounds.’ Rhodes graduated from Cambridge University where he studied history.

    Heldenpolitik: Ritterkreuz, Ideology and the Complexities of Hero Culture Under National Socialism

    Heldenpolitik: Ritterkreuz, Ideology and the Complexities of Hero Culture under National Socialism By Colin Gilmour A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2018 Department of History and Classical Studies McGill University Montreal, Quebec ©Colin Gilmour 2018 i Abstract This dissertation explores the political history of Germany’s highest award for military excellence during the Second World War: the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross, or “Ritterkreuz.” Expanding upon a limited foundation of existing scholarly research, its primary focus is to examine the role played by this famous medal as a vessel of “symbolic capital” for the National Socialist regime. Designed not only as a tool to help forge a new archetype for military heroism, it was also to represent the “revolution” that the Party claimed to have produced in German society and politics. Using this function as a framework, the component chapters of this study document different ways in which it informed or affected official usages of the Ritterkreuz and the activities of its recipients – called “Ritterkreuzträger” – during the war years. Through this investigation, the dissertation argues that while achieving an impact on wartime culture that continues to be felt in Germany today, both medal and men proved as much a source of frustration and embarrassment to the regime as they did ideological success. As such, it challenges several existing assumptions regarding the role of orders and decorations created by National Socialism while highlighting an underrecognized layer of complexity in its “Heldenpolitik” (Hero Politics). ii Résumé Cette thèse explore l'histoire politique de la plus haute distinction militaire accordée en Allemagne durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale : la croix de chevalier de la croix de fer, la « Ritterkreuz ».

Basically it was like you were LIVING in the moment and following Harry around or you could even believe you were actually taking him on and living his life, like in the way you do with video game characters.

    Bf109E-4 3003 1:32SCALEPLASTICKIT eduard Bf 109 intro No other aircraft of the German Luftwaffe is so intimately connected with its rise and fall in the course of the Second World War than the Messerschmitt Bf 109. This type, by whose evolution outlived the era in which it was conceptualized, bore the brunt of Luftwaffe duties from the opening battles of Nazi Germany through to her final downfall. The history of the aircraft begins during 1934-35, when the Reich Ministry ofAviation formulated a requirement for the development of a single-engined monoplane fighter. Proposals were submitted by Arado, Heinkel, Focke-Wulf and Bayerische Flugzeugwerke. The last mentioned firm featured a technical director named Professor Willy Messerschmitt, who was riding a wave of popularity based on the success of his recent liason aircraft, the Bf 108. His goal was to conceive of an aircraft with the best possible performance for the specified weight, size, and aerodynamic qualities. Over the subsequent months, several prototypes were built that served first and foremost in development flights and further modifications. The aircraft was relatively small, and compared to the prevailing trends of the time, docile with revolutionary features such as low wing design, the use of a retractable landing gear, a wing with a very narrow profile, wing slats, landing flaps, weapons firing through the prop arc, and so on. Even the enclosed cockpit and the method of construction were not very common just four years prior to the beginning of the Second World War.At its conception, the Bf 109 was a very promising asset despite some powerplant troubles.
