The wartime career of Norbert Hannig makes for fascinating and highly informative reading on an aspect of the 1939-45 war not often covered in the English language; primarily that of the campaign against the Soviet Union. Many and varied were his experiences in action against the rejuvenated Soviet Air Force in the east, and the powerful western Allies over the homeland during the final chaotic months of hostilities, which culminated in his captivity.John Weal's skilful translation ensures that the fluid descriptive style of the author is preserved. Thankfully Norbert was also a keen photographer who shot a profusion of images, all previously unpublished, many of which appear in this important book.
