Description: A STUNNING TRIBUTE TO THE MESSERSCHMITT BF109s OF JG-52WINTER PATROL by Nicolas TrudgianBf109s of JG-52 sweep through a snow covered valley, returning from a mission over the Caucasus Mountains, the highest range in Europe, November 1942.On 23rd July 1942, Hitler issued Directive 45 for Operation Brunswick – the German leaders plans to overrun the Caucasus – and carry his occupying forces to Stalingrad. However stiff Russian resistance and a bitterly cold winter brought the Panzer divisions to a halt and it was all the ground crews could do to keep the Luftwaffe in the air.Responsibility for all air activity in the Southern sector was given to the formidable JG-52 Wing. Under the mercurial leadership of Dieter Hrabak, the unit produced the three highest scoring Fighter Aces of the war, along with many more whose names became legendary.THE SIGNATURES The print is individually numbered and personally signed by the artist, along with and three legendary Fighter Aces who flew with JG-52:Generalmajor DIETER HRABAK Knight’s Cross – 125 victories Generalleutnant GÜNTHER RALL Knight’s Cross with Oak Leaves & Swords – 275 victories Oberleutnant WALTER WOLFRUM Knight’s Cross – 137 victories Released in 1993 this stunning piece has been completely sold out for many years.
