Historical
Background: By the winter of 1944-45, it was obvious that the end was near for
Germany. Allied land invaders were
nearing the borders of the “Fatherland” on two fronts, and air armadas pounded
it day and night from above. The
Wehrmacht was on the defensive on all fronts.
The Luftwaffe, the German air force, had its hands full intercepting air
incursions. Yet, there was still some
effort put into offensive bombing. And
the new jet aircraft were pressed into making albeit token tactical bombing
raids.
The
Rhine river was Germany’s last natural defensive barrier on the Western
front. When it was crossed by a
surprise US attack in March, 1945, all available resources were thrown into the
battle. This diorama represents a
bombing raid being hastily scrambled against the Remagen bridge over the Rhine
from a base in northern Germany, in March 1945. An Ar234B-2 “Blitz” (lightning) jet bomber, #140342 F1+AS, from
8/KG76, is preparing to run up its engines.
Flown by Ofw. Friedrich Bruchlos, it is carrying one 1,000 kg. and two
250 kg. bombs, which is its maximum bomb load for short range flights.
Another
pilot is signaling him to wait for the Me262A-2a “Sturmvogel” (Storm-petrel)
jet bomber, of KG 51, carrying two 250 kg. bombs, which is being towed into
take-off position by a Kettenkraftrad tracked motorcycle tractor. These planes did not excel in the role of
bomber, since they had been designed as fighters. Parked on a hardstand is V 555, an Me262A-2a/U2, with a glazed
nose and bombsight for a bombardier.
One of only two of the type built, it is being prepared for a test bomb
drop. It was never used operationally.
Also
seen here is a Henschell Hs. 293 guided bomb, which was carried by larger
bomber aircraft such as the Dornier Do217 or Heinkel He177, ready to be loaded
for anti-shipping strike. Other
airfield accessories displayed here include an Opel Blitz tanker truck, a
Luftwaffe airfield refueling cart, bomb crates with 250 kg. bombs, a 1,000 kg.
bomb and a bomb cart being used to mount the RATO pods.
2. “MISTELEN” Composite aircraft, used as guided missiles Northern Germany, August 1945
They
seem too strange to be true. But
desperate times call for desperate measures, and a constant refrain called for
more and different “wonder weapons”.
The Luftwaffe had its share of real wonders: jet and rocket fighters and
bombers, cruise and ballistic missiles.
But now something new was needed to turn the tide.
Combining two
aircraft, long-range guided missiles were created.
The
Messerschmitt Me262 Mistel combined a Me262 piloted guide aircraft, in this
case a two-seater “Schnellbomber”, and an un-manned flying bomb, designed to be
flown near the target, released, and then guided by the bombardier by remote
control. The composite aircraft rode on
a trolley for take-off. After the initial
design proved extremely heavy(over 20 tons, almost as heavy as the whole
Mistel), it was set aside and a smaller trolley originally designed for the
Ar234 prototypes was adapted and proved sufficient.
The
V1 was also adopted as a weapon for this program. Since all ground-based launch sites for the V1 attacks on England
had been captured, aerial launches were undertaken, at first using the ancient
He111. Later, a few of the
revolutionary Arado Ar234 jet bombers, such as this four-engined “C” version,
were pressed into this service. Now
they are being readied for a mission that would strike at the heartland of the
Soviets.
German
leadership hoped that with such “wonder weapons”, they could strike a few
decisive blows and turn the tide of the war.
The target for the strike being scrambled here was to be a large Soviet
hydroelectric dam in the Urals, which provided the majority of the electric
power to their war industry. This
target had been planned before with a flotilla of prop-driven Mistels, made up
of obsolete Ju88’s with bf109 or FW190 single-engined fighters mounted on
top. But that mission was scrapped in
late 1944 when the forward bases, from which the lumbering Mistels were to be
launched, were overrun by the Russians.
Now, in early 1945, a new flotilla was ready, not of slow, obsolete
planes, but of the newest and best aircraft in the world: they were faster than
anything else out there, and had just enough range for a one-way journey from
secure, hidden bases in Northern Germany and Denmark.
Here, a
bomber pilot recently transferred to this program looks incredulously at a
prototype C-3 with a test piggy-back arrangement(“Hucklepak”), while a ground
crewman explains the operation of the system.

“Here they come again!” Desert wings of
the Luftwaffe
Tunisia, February, 1943
Representing
the precarious last foothold of the Afrika Korp’s air support in Tunisia, early
1943.
Elements: ESCI Fieseler Fi156 Storch transport aircraft; ESCI Henschell Hs129B-2 ground attack aircraft; Fuman Sd.Kfz 7 halftrack prime mover, Bandai 88mm flak artillery and crew, ProModeler airfield refueling cart, bombs, figures from Bandai, Fuman and Elan, etc.
Historic
Background: By early 1943 the Deutche Afrika Korps were all but pushed into the
sea. Yet through frantic re-supply, a beachhead was maintained in Tunisia. Air superiority had turned overwhelmingly
into the hands of the Allied forces, yet a remnant of the Luftwaffe’s desert
air force remained, mainly in the ground attack role. Even a few Italian units still operated in conjunction with the
Germans. Yet there was no rest for the
beleaguered airfields, constantly under attack from medium bombers and
fighter-bombers. Here, the attention of
the ground personnel and flak crew shows the precarious situation: another
attack from the air!
4.
“The Best of Both Worlds” The most advanced
airplanes (rocket armed Me262's) and the most advanced tanks (Tiger II and
JadgTiger) meet.
An
armored column conglomerated of several infantry, Panzer and SS Panzer units,
and makes a stop at the improvised JG 7 base of (*Parchim or Rechlin-Larz) late March/early April 1945. The tankers check out the 262's while pilots
look over the tanks. Several tankers
and ground crew discuss the lack of fuel over empty fuel barrels and jerry
cans. On the balcony of the squadron’s
billet, a two-story brick country manor house, a “friendly” card game is going
on between a pilot and a tank crewman.
All this is all under the watchful eye of heavy anti-aircraft cover: a
quad 20mm Flak 38 gun and a machine gun on the roof.
The
scene being depicted is, admittedly, hypothetical. The location is a documented III/JG7 base, but the presence of an
armored column is based on conjecture.
It is plausable though, because during the last few months of the war
there were armor movements either through or around southern Germany, including
attempts to reinforce certain garrisons (Budepest, for example), movement
toward forming a “Festung Alpen”, attempts by decimated units and isolated
troops to re-form behind the lines, or even to escape the lines(S.S. for
example knew that they were especially “targeted” by Allied troops, and some
tried to escape to rear areas).

“What’s the best way to bust a tank?”
Hans
Rudel’s Stuka Ju87G-2 “tank buster” w/ 37 mm cannons has landed at a forward
command bunker of Army Group “Center”, near the German front lines in Upper
Bavaria in late April, 1945. Everyone
knows that the Reich is making its last stand.
As the pilot looked around the position and the soldiers looked over the
Stuka, a discussion has arisen about
the best way to knock out a Russian T-34 tank.
Present are tank destroyers (Hetzers), a “Nashorn” self-propelled 88mm
anti-tank gun, anti-tank guns(37 & 75 mm), and Panzergrenadiers with their
“wonder” weapon for tank-busting: the Panzerfaust rocket propelled armor
piercing grenade. Meanwhile, another
Stuka tank-buster (G-1) from a different unit, comes flying in low to land.

6. “The Sting”
By
August 15, 1944, the German Wehrmacht (armed forces) was in full retreat in
Normandy, France. An attempted
counterattack by the Germans had been cut off and surrounded, and now the
trapped divisions were attempting to escape through a small corridor near
Falaise. But there they were ambushed
by heavy Allied forces, particularly the British Royal Air Force’s ground
attack squadrons. The results were high
losses on both sides: the Allies lost many aircraft to heavy flak, but it was
far worse on the other side: several entire German divisions were annihilated,
including Panzer and S.S. divisions.
This
diorama is set during the attempted breakout. Elements of Army Group “B”, the 5th
Panzer Army, are providing cover for the 1st SS Panzer Corps’ escape
from encirclement. A Hawker Typhoon Mk1b flies over a burned out farmhouse near
Trun, close to the Allied lines, searching for reported armor
formations(targets of opportunity).
Inside the building, a Panzer IV Ausf.H from the 116th Pz.
Division, prepares an ambush as part of the rear guard, along with several
infantrymen. Outside, a Pz. IV
Mobelwagon flak tank from the 2nd
Pz. Division prepares to deliver it’s sting: four 20mm anti-aircraft
guns. The Typhoon was shot down. But
the breakout was a total disaster for the Germans, and effectively ended their
campaign in France.

8. “THE EYES
OF THE RUSSIAN FRONT”
late fall 1943, central Russian front
THE SCALE MODEL ELEMENTS (all 1/48 scale):
Blohm
und Vos BV141B observation aircraft
(HPM Kit) with Koster guns; photoetch parts are included in the
kit; Black Magic masks make painting the big clear gondola a little
easier.
The asymmetrical BV
141 was unusual to be sure, but very practical for the observation role, since
the big glazed gondola gave excellent unobstructed views at nearly 180 degrees.
It was never put into
production, but the various prototypes were pressed into front-line service,
and even carried 50Kg bombs for extra good measure. This one has survived
for a full year on the front lines, a testimony to the rugged construction and
good maintenance it received.
Here, near the front lines in northern Russia, the air
and ground crews prepare the big plane for a mission to spot for artillery,
while conferring with the army commanders.
The Horch command car has just returned from a recon mission; the Wespe
self-propelled 105 mm howitzer readies for firing; and the crew of a ------mm AA gun keeps a
watchful eye on the skies.
Bandai Mobelwagen flak tank, w/ Gaso.Line 37mm flak
gun. As far as I know there are only 2 of these models in the
world. The Mobelwagon has been out of production for at least 25 years,
and the 37 mm gun just came out in 2004. So I the two together since this
was the actual production vehicle. The crew is Tarmac brand. (2006 - THIS WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED

THE BASE:
The round diorama
base began its existence as a cable reel, then as a kid's school project.
Then I commandeered it for my diorama.
The terrain is styrofoam
with various materials added as dirt, ground litter, and foliage. I
used everything from household items like coffee grounds, used tea leaves, and
kitty litter, to real materials like real dirt, twigs and gravel. I also
used a few commercial diorama products like Woodland Scenics ground cover and a
Heki grassmatt. The road with the wheel ruts was made with plaster mixed
with dark brown acrylic paint. Some of the shrubs are from cut flower
greenery. The white is fake snow from a spray can.

and markings are hypothetical for Battle of Britain period (August,
1940)II/JG26 “Schageter” fighter squadron; Caffiers, France. Condor model kit
1/48 scale
When this airplane flew in August,
1939, before World War Two even officially started, it was over 100 kph faster
than the Lufwaffe’s existing front line fighters. But because of a false sense of confidence, they decided not to
proceed with this radical new design. They were counting on the Me109E
fighters. What if the Luftwaffe had put this little jet fighter into production
instead of into a museum? Then by
August of 1940, it may have been zipping over the skies of southern England,
pouncing Hurricanes and Spitfires left and right. And the outcome may have been different(good thing they
didn’t!).
Heinkel He280A-2 Eduard "Profi-Pak" Model kit, 1/48
scale; Hypothetical 1943 "gray" scheme as bomber interceptor, with
Wfr.Gr. 21 mortar rockets. Unit: EKdo 280, Lechfeld. (Test Command 280).
This plane was a
competitor with the Me262 for the jet interceptor role. Even though the Heinkel was further along in
testing and design that the Messerschmitt, the Me262 was a more advanced
aircaft and won the contract. However,
because of delays, it did not get into operation until mid 1944. By then, the war was effectively lost. The Heinkel could have been in front line
units by mid or late 1943. Perhaps it
could have turned the tide against the Allied bombing offensive. Since they were
significantly faster than the Allied escort aircraft, they could have operated
with more freedom
against the bombers
than could the bf109's and FW190's.
What would have happened if Heinkel's jets began blasting B-17's out of
the air at a number unacceptable to Allied command? Perhaps daylight strategic bombing would have been curtailed. The war's outcome may have been different.
