audiobook Seizing Freedom: Slave Emancipation and Liberty for All by David R. Roediger in History

Description

Synonymous with the Afrika Korps and the campaign in North Africa; JG 27 provided Rommel's army with fighter protection for virtually the whole 'roller coaster ride that was the war in the Western Desert from 1941-43. Formed in Germany on 1 October 1939 (with Adolf Galland as CO of I.Gruppe); JG 27 saw considerable action both during the Battles of France and Britain; downing 146 aircraft in the latter campaign alone. Sent to North Africa in April 1941; the geschwader had an immediate impact on the campaign; which had up until then been dominated by the Allies. The third volume in the Aviation Elite series on a German fighter geschwader; this book will once again prove popular with Luftwaffe enthusiasts and hobbyists alike.
