Description

Hans Rudel's autobiography is a remarkable account of his experiences as one of the most highly decorated German servicemen of World War II. He holds the distinction of being awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds, the Third Reich's most prestigious medal, which was specially created for him by Adolf Hitler. Shot down over 24 times, Rudel is credited with destroying an impressive array of targets, including tanks, ground targets, a Russian battleship, two cruisers, and a destroyer. His flying record of over 2,500 missions remains unmatched by any pilot since his time. This uncensored edition, first published in 1948, provides a unique insight into Rudel's life and experiences during World War II. The book includes maps and photographs, offering a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of history's most complex and intriguing figures.
