Iron Cross | Issue 30
Amid the battles of the Second World War, German pioneer forces deployed much-feared flamethrowers and flame tanks designed for bunker reduction and close-quarters assault operations. The cover artwork for this issue shows a SdKfz 251/16 Flammanzerwagen leaving farmers’ huts in an occupied village in eastern Poland or Ukraine ablaze during an action on the Eastern Front in 1944; the combat history of the widely used S90-class torpedo boats from the First World War is chronicled; Hitler’s Gateway article looks at the Führer’s personal airfield; the often overlooked German aspect to The Great Escape is fully examined; the fleeting, but action-packed career of First World War ace Hans Waldhausen, who downed both aircraft and heavily defended observation balloons; the rushed creation of a one-off assault rifle at the very end of the Second World War.
