Olham Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 This piece of Nazi propaganda was surely made to attract young men to the Luftwaffe.We can see Ernst Udet flying stunts in his American Curtiss F.11C "Goshawk".Two of these aircraft were the price, for which he sold his soul to the devil -or better: to Hermann Goering (the later 'Herr Meier'). He recieved them as a present,for joining the Nazi-Party NSDAP at last - which he had always refused before.And it was the "Goshawk" and it's very sturdy diveability, which gave him the ideafor the German Sturzkampfbomber, short "Stuka".
