There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

Well i never !!! just been watching a documentary on the bombing of Germany, and "lo and behold" this came up as a short piece of film which was included, stating that JU88's were used to fly above bomber streams and drop parachute bombs on them ?

Do we have a correct answer?

I think it may be a Heinkel He 111 H-6

Happy New Year to all.
