IN THIS ISSUE

Unique content includes our cover story which looks at the story of Luftwaffe fighter ace through his letters with our ‘Editor’s Choice’ which is a remarkable photographic study of German war memorials. Also, our second feature on the A7V tank presents the first Allied drawings of this WW1 German giant. The 1969 film ‘Battle of Britain’ comes under critical review while the leadership of a German fighter commander is examined. The colourful Order of the Red Eagle, a battle-damaged Knights Cross, and an elaborate badge awarded to Hermann Göring are showcased. The disastrous spying mission for the German invasion of Britain is uncovered, along with the astonishing story of a German sailing ship raider of WW1. These are accompanied by features on a Luftwaffe ‘Death Card’, news of a Stuka recovery and restoration project, and a round-up of German militaria auctions. The issue is rounded-off by a detailed feature on the rare EMP44 weapon.
