Description

COMMEMORATING THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF STALINGRAD...Legends Aviation Gallery are delighted to announce the World wide Release of Nicolas Trudgian's striking new Limited Edition print..." Stalingrad "...a dramatic painting of the Battle for Stalingrad with a special matching-numbered companion pencil print..." Stalingrad, Battle for a Ruined City "... The Battle for Stalingrad started in the summer of 1942. By the bitterly cold early months of 1943, the city on the Volga, once the pride of the Soviets, had become the grimmest theatre of the whole war. The German 6th Army, originally the aggressors, had become almost encircled by superior Russian forces. The German soldiers only hope of salvation lay with the Luftwaffe which was now given the task of dropping supplies for their army instead of bombs on the enemy. In this evocative painting, Nicolas Trudgian portrays one of those desperate supply missions over the smoking ruins of Stalingrad, as Me 109G's of JG3 tenaciously protect He111's of KG55 and Ju52s of KGrzbV 9 from the attacking Soviet Yak 1B's. The Luftwaffe's efforts to maintain contact with their ground forces enabled between 25,000 and 40,000 wounded men to escape the trap. Ultimately, however, the Germans were defeated and their failure to capture Stalingrad was subsequently seen as the most significant turning point of the war on the Eastern Front. This release is signed by up to sixteen holders of the Knights Cross, German Cross in Gold and Iron Cross, many of them veterans of the Battle for Stalingrad, most of these signatures were collected during the 1980's and early 1990's and therefore are extremely rare and unrepeatable. Additionally, each of the five prints in the Tribute Edition include the wartime signatures of two Famous High Ranking German veterans involved in the battle...Oberst Hermann Graf Knights Cross, Oakleaves, Swords and Diamonds of the Luftwaffe and Generalfeldmarschall Ewald Von Kleist Knights Cross, Oakleaves and Swords of the Wehrmacht...
