Stuka Pilot: The War Memoirs of Hans-Ulrich Rudel

Barbarossa Books

World War II was the largest conflict in history. Huge formations of tanks are deployed across fronts that stretch thousands of miles. Badly outnumbered on the ground, Germany looks to a new class of aircraft, the tank-hunter, to even the odds. The most accomplished tank-hunter pilot was Hans-Ulrich Rudel. Rudel, an aerial reconnaissance pilot turned decorated dive-bomber, spearheaded the development of these new weapons and tactics. His extreme skill and courage allowed him to destroy over 500 tanks throughout the war. Rudel saw nearly every stage of World War II, from the initial advance into Poland and the Russian heartland to the desperate fighting withdrawal back into Germany. His memoirs, available once again in budget paperback form, offer students of history a unique, enlightening perspective on the most significant conflict of the modern era.

Autobiography of World War Two Luftwaffe pilot Hans Ulrich Rudel, the most highly decorated German serviceman of WW2, and the only one to be awarded the Third Reich’s most prestigious medal which was specially created for Rudel by Hitler himself, the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds.Shot down over 24 times, Hans Rudel is credited with destroying over 500 tanks, 2,000 ground targets, the Russian battleship Marat, two cruisers and a destroyer, and was so successful against Russian forces that Joseph Stalin put up a 100,000 rouble ransom on his head. His flying record of over 2,500 combat missions remains unmatched by any pilot since.Until his death in 1982 Hans Rudel remained a loyal supporter of Adolf Hitler, and National Socialism. Hans Rudel remained a complex character, but arguably one of WW2’s most heroic figures. This is a new edition of this classic war epic which includes new maps, photographs, and footnotes, with an introduction by British air ace Group Captain Douglas Bader.
