In true Images of War Series style, this authoritative book tells
the unique story of Hitler's Luftwaffe Flak and Field Divisions in
words and rare images. From the outset of WW2, Go ring's Luftwaffe
Flak units saw extensive fighting with their 2cm, 3.7cm and deadly
8.8cm anti-aircraft guns. By the time of the Nazis' invasion of
Russia, Luftwaffe ground forces had been expanded and were being
used in both the army support and air roles. After initial success
on the Eastern Front turned to stalemate and huge losses, Hitler
ordered the raising of Luftwaffe Field Divisions to bolster the
Army. These were initially under Go ring's command but, in late
1943, were handed over to the Army and re-organised as standard
infantry divisions (of three two-battalion rifle regiments)
retaining Luftwaffe designations. The most famous was the elite
Hermann Go ring Divisions, which was re-organised as a Panzer
Division.By 1944 there were no less than twenty-one Luftwaffe Field
Divisions plus many similar regiments, fighting on all fronts. Of
all German anti-tank weapons, the 8.8cm gun was the most feared and
destructive.Luftwaffe Flak and Field Divisions 1939-1945 describes
the evolution of this unique element of the Nazi war machine by
means of clear text and superb images and will appeal to modellers,
war-gamers and Second World War enthusiasts alike
