The exploits of the Luftwaffe's allies and volunteers on the Eastern Front are not well known. Overshadowed by the Luftwaffe's own propaganda during the war and subject to fierce Communist repression post-war, only now can the true stories of the Croatian volunteers who manned the 15. Staffel of JG 52, one of the most successful fighter units in the Luftwaffe, be told. Mostly inspired by the ideal of an independent Croatian homeland, the men were in an enviable position, subjected to military and political pressure from Nazis and Communists alike, yet they continued to fly and fight and did their duty as they saw it. Based entirely on Croatian and Luftwaffe archive materials, the combat records of the men and their machines are recorded here in enormous detail, on an almost daily basis.
