From the eastern front to the defence of the homel&. By his own modest admission, Norbert Hannig was Frontflieger, or operational pilot, who really did nothing special during World War Two. He was just, he says, one of the many rank & file pilots fighting for his country & not the Fuhrer. His wartime career makes for fascinating & highly informative reading on an aspect of the 1939-45 war not often covered in the English language; primarily that of the campaign against the Soviet Union.
