{"product_id":"aviation-elite-units-13-luftwaffe-schlachtgruppen","title":"Aviation Elite Units 13: Luftwaffe Schlachtgruppen","description":"One of the most important, and yet least publicised, components of the front-line Luftwaffe was the Schlacht, or ground attack, arm. This book details the Schlacht units who were in the thick of the fighting from the first day of the war until the last. They played a vital part in the heady successes of the early Blitzkrieg campaigns and went on to perform an equally essential role in the dark hours of last ditch defence and ultimate defeat. In between, they fought in all defensive battles: on the eastern front at Stalingrad, Kursk and Berlin; in the west, by night, over Normandy, the Ardennes and the Rhine.\n\nThe color plate section of the book has profiles of the following, disperate aircraft:\n\nHS 123A\nHE 51B\nBf 109-4\nBf 109E\nBf 109E-7\nHS 129B\nFw 190F-2\nFiat Cr.42\nFokker CV-E\nJu 87D\n\nAll of which were flown by this squadron. Also of note is the fact that this Ace pilot Hans-Ulrich Rudel was part of this distinguished unit.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1841766089\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1841766089.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Weal, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
