This sixth and final volume covers in detail the last eight months of Jagdgeschwader RICHTHOFEN, from its return to German soil in September 1944 until the surrender of the Wehrmacht. This period was marked by desperate fightings, especially for the ruins of Berlin, and deadly operations, such as those of the famous BODENPLATTE.
In thirty years of research, the author was able to interview one hundred veterans of the squadron (or confidants) who, through their moving stories and personal documents, give this chronicle a human dimension that will not fail to impress the reader.
