The White Eagle

A Tribute to Gerhard Barkhorn

by Nicolas Trudgian

 

Oberleutnant Gerhard Barkhorn leads the Me109Gs of 4./JG52 against Ilyushin Il-2 ground-attack aircraft ahead of a major Russian counter offensive in the Caucasus in January 1943.

Below, the German 6th Panzer Division, heavily outnumbered, desperately attempt to prevent a Soviet breakthrough. Gerhard Barkhorn exceeded 100 victories and was awarded the Oak Leaves to the Knight’s Cross on the 11th January 1943, following his 105th claim. He eventually became the second most successful fighter pilot of all time, after fellow Luftwaffe pilot Erich Hartmann, the only two pilots to reach 300 claimed victories.
