200 photos & 27 color profiles, maps, & data tables Using very rare photographs, this is the story of how the fuel-starved Jagdwaffe covered and protected the relentless German retreat from the East along a 1,000km front through Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Romania to the skies over Berlin while suffering terrible attrition from the Soviet Air Force. There is also a portrayal of the leading aces Erich Hartmann (352 aerial kills), Gerhard Barkhorn (301 kills) and others who became legends over the Eastern Front.
