Panzer Drive
The summer of 1941 was a jubilant time for Hitler's vaunted Wehrmacht as the juggernaut that is Operation Barbarossa rolls inexorably eastwards. Army Group North under Von Leeb made rapid progress into Latvia while Von Rundstedt's Army Group South struck for the Crimea. Between these formidable formations was Von Bock's Army Group Center, tasked with the main drive on Moscow. It consisted of 51 Divisions, including two Panzer Armies totaling nine Divisions and air support provided by Luftflotte 2. All across the 2000-mile front, the Red Army reeled back before the armored onslaught.
Overhead, ME110s of ZG I Wespen Geshwader, with their distinctive wasp emblem, streak towards enemy position providing vital tactical air support to the ground forces. A necessary component in the concept of Blitzkrieg.
