Twilight of the Luftwaffe Sunday
By late 1944, the hopes of dreams of Adolf Hitler lay smoking in the ruins of once-great German cities. The Allied bombing offensive had crushed German industry and the Nazi war machine had failed to keep the enemy from German soil. Hitler's only hope lay in a resurgent air force -- a resurrection of the once-vaunted Luftwaffe that struck terror on German's foes earlier in the war. From the drawing boards of Hitler's greatest scientists and engineer came an assortment of odd, yet terrifying machines of aerial warfare that became Nazi Germany's only hope in stemming the tide of the Allied advance. WW2 air-to-air combat in 1/72 scale.
