DHM2432. Timber Wolf by Nicolas Trudgian. Leutnant Klaus Bretschneider, Staffelkapitan of 5./JG300 kicks up the dust as he taxies his Fw190 A-8 Red One from its forest hiding place into the sunlight in preparation for take-off. The scene is northern Germany, November 1944. The Staffelkapitan will lead his 190s in a massed sturm intercept upon incoming American bombers. With Allied fighters dominating the skies, Luftwaffe fighter units took desperate measures to conceal their whereabouts. Commonplace were these hurriedly prepared strips, often near dense forests. Less than 20 prints remain. Signed by Oberst Hajo Hermann (deceased) and Oberfeldwebel Willi Reschke, in addition to the artist. Signed limited edition of 450 prints. Paper size 19 inches x 25 inches (48cm x 64cm)
