Description

The Complete History of KG 51 "Edelweiss" in World War II The history of Kampfgeschwader 51 "Edelweiss", a Luftwaffe bomber unit, is documented here from its formation in 1937 to Germany's surrender in 1945. KG 51 played a significant role on the "hotspots" of the war zone, flying He 111s and Ju 88s on operations in France, England, the Balkans, and the Russian Front. The unit earned a reputation for its commitment to combat, earning the nickname "fire brigade". Based on war diaries, combat reports, and personal accounts, the author provides a factual and vivid account of KG 51's story. This book offers a unique perspective on the unit's history, shedding light on its operations and experiences during World War II. 336 pages, hardcover.
