03 - WWII - Luftwaffe
Wakeup Call! by Robert Bailey
As 1944 came to a close, Germany stood defiant. She was surrounded by the advancing Russian Juggernaut on her eastern border, and the American and British armies and air forces in the west. Her industrialized cities lay in ruins, victims to the incessant day and night bombing campaigns by the allies. The German population had grown weary after nearly three years of worsening news and ever increasing hardships in supporting the war effort. One of germany's last desperate attempts to reverse the tide of war was initiated on January 1st, 1945 in 'Operation Bodenplatte.' It was designed to deliver a fatal blow to the Western Allied Forces by destroying their parked and fueling planes on the ground early in the morning. Instead, it was a disaster from which the Luftwaffe would never recover.
