Well at first I had a different title. I was told that it would have been offensive to some, but I didn't mean for it to be. So I had to choose a different title. I was having a hard time finding one and Adlerangriff seemed to fit, so....

What was the first title?

Eagle Day?...
Are you referring to the event or is that an attempt at translating?

Great picture. Love the trailing smoke.

Thnx fellas. :)

Original title was Sieg Hiel!. The website I got it from said it meant "Hail Victory!" or "Victory Hail!". I guess I missed something, but I was told by multiple people on a different site to change it because it would be offensive to some.

Ever hear any of the tapes when Hitler finished addressing an audience? The people all shouted, "SIEG HEIL! SIEG HEIL! SIEG HEIL!" Perhaps that's why most people would find it offensive.

Didn't realize that... I've never seen any of those tapes except as part of a documentary/history program which of course had a voiceover and only showed short clips of his addresses.

Where else besides the Channel area did 109Es fight Spitfires?  I was thinking adlerangriff was a spin on adlertag.

Original title was Sieg Hiel!. The website I got it from said it meant "Hail Victory!" or "Victory Hail!". I guess I missed something, but I was told by multiple people on a different site to change it because it would be offensive to some.

Yeah, that's a really bad choice.  You received good advice. :eek:
