{"product_id":"luftwaffe-sturmgruppen-john-weal-9781841769080","title":"Luftwaffe Sturmgruppen","description":"The 'storm troopers' of the Luftwaffe, the elite Strumgruppen units comprised the most heavily armed and armoured fighter interceptors ever produced by the Germans. Their role was to smash like a mighty fist through the massed ranks of USAAF daylight bombers. Only volunteers could serve with these elite units, and each pilot was trained to close with the enemy and engage him in extremely short-range combat, attacking from the front and the rear in tight arrowhead formations. In exceptional circumstances pilots would even ram their enemy. This book chronicles the brief, but violent, career of the Sturmgruppen during the dark days of 1944-45, employing first-hand accounts and rare archival photography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Weal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841769088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841769080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.18w x 0.37d","brand":"John Weal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938909847807,"sku":"9781841769080","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6dcc184c-abcc-4826-a919-31ed899b1b8f.jpg?v=1681438393","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/luftwaffe-sturmgruppen-john-weal-9781841769080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
