Nice pictures especially the beetle as you said.
ReplyDeleteAh the Soviet tactic of parade ground gun lines, still in use by the way, even with their Self Propelled Guns.

ReplyDeleteThe Beetle makes an absolute mockery of what we see in Hollywood doesn't it?? I mean bullets do actually go through a vehicle and anyone inside will get riddled and not magically get out and kill every baddie in sight!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to appear patronising and dismissive of your knowledge but the luftwaffe was still active in April 1945 but of course on a very small scale. I believe its last sortie was in May '45. I read Drama Between Budapest and Vienna by Georg Maier and even at that stage of the war the Luftwaffe still managed upwards of 120 sorties a day in aid of the surrounded troops in Budapest. Sure it isn't many considering the thousands put up by the Allies but it does show that it was still an active force.
Planes may not be your thing but Alfred Price also wrote a fine book called The Last Year of the Luftwaffe than is worth a look if you are interested. So many myths about the state of the Luftwaffe in that last year.
