World War
II was truly a world-wide conflict, involving many nations around the
globe. There were more pilots involved in the air war than just the
Americans, British, Russians, Germans and Japanese. This week I want to
focus on the air war over Europe. Specifically those fighter aces who
flew for the Axis.
Italians, Slovaks, Romanians, Hungarians, Bulgarians, Croatians and Finns all fought side by side with the Germans. Mostly on the Eastern Front against the Russians. The Italians, though their armed forces were viewed with disdain by many, fought valiantly in the air in the East and in the Mediterranean theater. This week, gli altri combattenti, the other combatants in the skies over Europe.
