Historical Background:
In its struggle to blunt the Allies' effective attacks on its communications and production of petroleum and weapons, the Luftwaffe created a special bomber-destroying unit (Gefechtsverband) made up of heavily armed and armored Fw190A8 "Sturmbocks", escorted by the high-performance Bf109G10. On 15 August 1944, the 358th Squadron, 303rd Bomb Group based at Molesworth, England, became the object of this unit's attention on the return flight from its target-the Luftwaffe airfield at Weisbaden, Germany.
