The
authors examine the parallel developments of RAF night
bombing, and night fighting in the Luftwaffe up to the
climax of the strategic bombing offensive in 1945 and the
introduction of the German Me 262 jet night fighter. They
have traced surviving aircrew from both sides and have
matched many Bomber Command losses to German night fighter
claims. The narrative is extensively illustrated with more
than 400 rare and mostly unpublished photographs from the
personal collections of veterans.

This is the first English translation of Rolf Michaelis's
account of this obscure World War II SS unit. In July 1939,
SS-Heimwehr Danzig was formed from members of the III./4.
SS-Totenkopf-Standarte "Ostmark", as well as from Danzig citizen
volunteers to reinforce other existing Danzig units for the
impending invasion of Poland. This book not only describes the
political background that led to their deployment in September
1939, but also contains the combat recollections of former
members and 100 photographs, and documents.
