Cover: Our Ace in Africa
The whirlwind advance of the German and Italian forces in North Africa is due in no small measure to the work of German airmen, who cleared the sky above the field of operations and outfought their opponents for the mastery of the air. Oberleutnant Marseille, the most successful of the German aces, received from the Führer the distinction of the Oak Leaves with Swords to the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross on the occasion of the one hundred and first air victory. Our photographer shot this picture as Oberleutnant Marseille was vividly describing his latest victory in air combat.
