Autobiography of World War Two Luftwaffe pilot Hans Ulrich Rudel,
the most highly decorated German serviceman of WW2, and the only
one to be awarded the Third Reich's most prestigious medal which
was specially created for Rudel by Hitler himself, the Knight's
Cross of the Iron Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords and
Diamonds. Shot down over 24 times, Hans Rudel is credited with
destroying over 500 tanks, 2,000 ground targets, the Russian
battleship Marat, two cruisers and a destroyer, and was so
successful against Russian forces that Joseph Stalin put up a
100,000 rouble ransom on his head. His flying record of over 2,500
combat missions remains unmatched by any pilot since. Until his
death in 1982 Hans Rudel remained a loyal supporter of Adolf
Hitler, and National Socialism. Hans Rudel remained a complex
character, but arguably one of WW2's most heroic figures. This is a
new edition of this classic war epic which includes new maps,
photographs, and footnotes, with an introduction by British air ace
Group Captain Douglas Bader.
