Painting with Champagne With the cooperation of his family, we take a unique look at the artwork of the talented German war artist, Hans Liska, who drew and painted scenes in many theatres of war from 1939 to 1945. In this ‘exclusive’, we explore the stories behind his illustrations. (1)
Powering the ‘Butcher Bird’ When the Luftwaffe brought the Focke-wulf 190 into service in late 1941, it became the scourge of the RAF. In 1942, however, an intact example fell into British hands and was subject to detailed evaluation – in particular, the powerful BMW 801 radial engine. (2)
Iron Cross – British Steel Ironically, the German tank force of the Second World War had its roots in the British tanks of the First World War – the ‘Beute Panzers’ of the
Western Front - captured tanks used by the Germans against their erstwhile owners! (3)
Officer of the ‘ Emden’ The fascinating story of Hellmuth von Mücke, an officer on the First World War vessel the Emden, who became a national hero but later was a vocal opponent of Hitler and the Nazis and was imprisoned for his ‘subversive’ and pacifist views. (4)
With Sword and Lance We explore a little-examined aspect of the First World War, comparing the cavalry of both the German and British armies of 1914, their equipment and their respective performance in battle. (5)
