By his own, modest, admission Norbert Hannig was a Frontflieger, or
operational pilot, who really did nothing special during World War
Two. He was just, he says, one of the many rank and file pilots
fighting for his country and not for the FĂźhrer. But his wartime
career makes for fascinating and highly informative reading on an
aspect of the 1939â45 war not often covered in the English
language; primarily that of the campaign against the Soviet Union.
Norbert started flying during high school on gliders and joined the
German air force as volunteer and officer cadet, one of the
midwar-generation of Luftwaffe fighter pilots. He began operations
with JG54 on the eastern (Leningrad) front in March 1943; initially
he flew Messerschmitt Bf 109s before transitioning to the
Focke-Wulf FW 190. After a yearâs fighting, he was ordered back
to Germany as a flight instructor to oppose the bomber streams of
the AAF and RAF. Returning to Russia at the end of 1944, he became
a Staffel CO and claimed many aircraft shot down. In April 1945 he
converted to the first jet fighter, the Me 262, in south Germany,
and flew his last missions with this aircraft. Also serving with
JV44 (whose CO was Adolf Galland), Norbert Hannig finished the war
with 42 victories from more than 200 missions. Many and varied were
his experiences in action against the rejuvenated Soviet air force
in the east, and the powerful western Allies over the homeland
during the final chaotic months of hostilities, which culminated in
his captivity. John Wealâs skilful translation ensures that the
fluid descriptive style of the author is preserved. Thankfully,
also, Norbert was a keen photographer who shot a profusion of
images, many of which appear in this important book.
