For many at this time Hitler provided a future and stability for the population of a country that had been defeated in the Great War of 1914-1918 and had also been subjected to an impoverished existence during the years of the Depression. In common with many western countries the young men of Germany were eager to grasp the opportunities offered by new technology - flying being one of them. After service on both the Eastern and Western Fronts Bob's successes of 60 victories earned him the coveted award of the Knight's Cross and promotion to a Gruppenkommandeur. However, Betrayed Ideals does not confine itself to the authors wartime career but also provides a social history of life in Germany both before the war and in its aftermath...This is a limited signed edition of only 54 copies that we at Legends Aviation Gallery had commissioned in 2008 when " Hans-Ekkehard Bob " was our guest at our Gallery...very limited availability...priced @ £35.00...Normal price for both books bought individually is £130.00...Buy both books as a matching Numbered set for £120.00.
