Sturzkampfgruppe Hauck
Novel by Hans Meffert. Hardcover RM 4,-, hard. RM 3,
This first great novel about a Stuka group, written by a young air force captain, becomes a symbol of German aviation through his own experiences and the stirring art of storytelling. The young pilots we see in front of us in battle in the skies, in the circle of their comrades and in the short hours of leave, face life upright and in the fullest of their strength and know how to happily give up their lives when it is called upon of them.
