The narrative recounts Operation Bodenplatte, a pivotal German air assault during the waning days of World War II. Launched on January 1, 1945, it aimed to surprise the Allies by targeting their airfields in Belgium and the Netherlands. General Adolf Galland orchestrated the attack with over 800 Luftwaffe fighters, achieving initial success by destroying many Allied aircraft. However, the operation faced significant setbacks due to absent Allied squadrons and effective anti-aircraft defenses. The resulting heavy losses for the Luftwaffe marked a turning point in the conflict, illustrated through a detailed narrative and striking photographs.
