Book Description
This volume is the first of its type to be devoted exclusively to the Zerstörer day fighter aces, spanning the war years from Poland to the defence of the Reich. Although Messerschmitt's single-engined Bf 109 has received most of the plaudits for achieving virtual air superiority over Europe in 1939-40, the exploits of the manufacturer's twin-engined Bf 110, the Ju 88 and the Me 410 Zerstörer in the first year of the war also make for very impressive reading. Indeed, on the eve of World War 2 a posting to a Bf 110 unit was considered to be the best career move available in the Luftwaffe.

Me 210/410 Zerstörer Units
Author: Robert Forsyth
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472829093
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
Intended as a progressive development of the twin-engined Bf 110 Zerstörer ('destroyer' or heavy fighter), the Me 210 first took to the air in September 1939. However, due to a lack of sufficient flight-testing before being declared service-ready, the Me 210 suffered from a less than satisfactory reputation in respect to its flight characteristics and weak undercarriage. After enhancements were made to the fuselage and wings, and the power of the plane was increased, the Me 210 became the Me 410 in late 1942. By this stage of the war much was expected of the two types, which were forced to fly in very dangerous skies over North Africa and in the defence of the German homeland. Both aircraft were deployed as heavy fighters, fighter-bombers, reconnaissance platforms and interceptors, seeing service with a number of different units. The Me 410 was fitted with 30 mm cannon, 21 cm underwing mortars and the colossal 5 cm BK cannon that was intended to pack a punch against the USAAF's four-engined bombers which threatened the Reich in large numbers from 1943 onwards. In this title, supported by contemporary photography and full-colour artwork, Robert Forsyth tells the complex story of the Me 210 and 410, detailing their development and assessing their capabilities as combat aircraft.

"Zerstörer des Schweigens"
Author: Frank Grüner
Publisher: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : de
Pages : 584
Book Description
Keine Region hat unter dem Rassenwahn der Nationalsozialisten mehr gelitten als Osteuropa. Dennoch unterlag der Umgang mit dieser traumatischen Erfahrung gerade dort lange Zeit hindurch festen Tabus. Sämtliche Medien und Künste wurden von der sozialistischen Diktatur als Instrumente des organisierten Vergessens funktionalisiert, - und spielten trotzdem mit subversiver Kraft eine Schlüsselrolle als »Zerstörer des Schweigens« (Dmitrij sostakovic). Aber auch nach dem Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs birgt das Erinnern an die Opfer der NS-Rassen- und Vernichtungspolitik in Osteuropa noch Konfliktpotential; und trotz seiner Bedeutung für die betreffenden Gesellschaften wurde das Thema von der Forschung bisher weitgehend übergangen. Der vorliegende Band beschäftigt sich nun erstmals mit den vielfältigen Formen künstlerischer Erinnerung an die NS-Zeit, wie sie sich von den 1930er Jahren bis zur Gegenwart in Literatur, Publizistik, Film, Musik und bildender Kunst der osteuropäischen Länder manifestieren.
