He became a pilot in a time of peace, yet Johannes Kaufmann served with the Luftwaffe all the way through World War II. As he recounts in this memoir, he survived 212 combat operations, seeing action in the attack on Poland, the battles of Arnhem and the Ardennes, the D-Day landings, and fighting against American heavy bombers in the Defense of the Reich campaign. Shedding light on the immense pressures of the job, Kaufman also offers graphic descriptions of being hopelessly lost in thick cloud above the Alps, and of following a line of telegraph poles half-buried in deep snow while searching for a place to land on the Stalingrad front.
