Description

Undetected, the battlecruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, together with the cruiser Prinz Eugen and supporting vessels, had escaped from the French port of Brest, and were making an audacious dash - in broad daylight and under the noses of the enemy - to the safety of the Elbe Estuary. But first they must sail through the Straits of Dover, one of the narrowest and most heavily defended straits in the world. Everything depended on surprise - and air cover. Given the job of providing that air cover was one of Hitlerâ??s youngest Generals, Adolf Galland, who through diligent planning and daring tactics ensured the operation was a complete success. Galland later described the mission as one of the most important and successful of his career. Messerschmitt Me 109s of Jg-2 fly low escort above the mighty German warships. In company with a flotilla of escorts vessels, the fleet is led by the Scharnhorst, followed by the Gneisenau with the Prinz Eugen steaming up behind, as they round the tip of the Cherbourg Peninsula at dawn on the morning of February 12, 1942 Signed by : Artist Robert Taylor and Adolf Galland, Gerhard Schoppel, Friedrich-Karl Paul, Adolf Glunz and Gerd-Dietrich Schneider...priced @ Sold...
