SLOWING THE RED TIDE
by Nicolas Trudgian
Fw190s of JG51 provide support to armour breaking out of the besieged 'Festung Königsberg' in East Prussia, February 1945. They are quickly engaged by Yak 3s of the famed Normandie-Niemen Group but the determined action of the Wehrmacht opened a life-saving corridor to the Baltic and was one of their last significant tactical victories on the Eastern Front.
Adding great authenticity, a staggering NINE highly-respected Knights Cross recipients have signed the edition - five pilots and four panzer tank commanders:
