LA STUKAGEWADER 2 ''IMMELMANN'' - VOLUME 2: September 1943 - May 1945.

After the Battle of Kursk, the German units engaged in the east could only fight obstinately in an attempt to delay the inevitable advance of the Soviet steamroller. Like the other ground support units on the Eastern Front, the Stukageschwader 2 (now Schlachtgeschwader 2) had to adapt and adopt several modifications, the Fw 190 equipping more and more squadrons. But, despite the efforts of the high command, these planes could not completely supplant the ‘old’ Ju 87 who would remain the workhorse of many aces including Hans-Ulrich Rudel. The Ju 87 G equipped with two anti-tank guns was going to cause devastation among the armored adversaries even if they were engaged only in small number and could be piloted only by a handful of "Experts".

This Volume II covers the period from September 1943 to May 1945. It relates the last battles as well as the losses of the 'Immelmann' squadron retreating through Romania and Hungary, called continuously on all 'hot spots' to fill Whatever the breaches of a cracking brow on all sides is worth. This until the surrender of May 8, 1945.
