In September 1942, Rudel accepted command of the 1st Detachment of the 1st Squadron of the 2nd Dive Bombing Wing to carry out combat missions in the Stalingrad area. At that time, his detachments were often sent against Soviet tanks, although it was recognized that ** was not a proper anti-tank weapon.

On 10 February 1943, Hans Rudel flew his 1,000th mission and became a national hero of Germany. He was then sent to a special airborne anti-tank unit newly formed in Bryansk to test the improved Ju-87 D-3 (tank saboteur). The new Ju-87 D-3 model, with two 37-mm anti-tank guns mounted under the wings (adapted from anti-aircraft guns, fitted with special fairings and equipped with 6 rounds of ammunition each), was the Luftwaffe's experimental response to the grim tank situation on the Eastern Front. The prototype was first used to attack Soviet landing craft on the Black Sea, and Rudel destroyed 70 of them in three weeks.

In March 1943, during a tank battle in Belgonod, Rudel destroyed the first Soviet tank with his new Ju87.

On April 14, 1943, Air Force Captain Hans Rudel was awarded the Knight's Iron Cross with Silver Oak Leaves. His detachment, which totaled 9 Ju-87 G-1s, was assigned to support the 3rd SS Panzer Division (Skeleton Division) in the operation "Bastion" (Battle of Kursk). On the first day of the battle, Rudel destroyed 4 Soviet tanks in his first sortie, and by the end of the day, he had 12 tanks. "We all know that every wrecked tank means that more German brothers are saved." At the same time, the results of Rudel's detachment also prompted the new detachment of "tank saboteurs" (Pa

ze

staffels). Based on his experience, Rudel developed new attack tactics for the "tank saboteur" detachment. He found that the best way to deal with tanks was to attack them from the rear or from the flanks (the T-34 had an engine and cooling system installed in the rear, and heavy armor plates could not be installed). Interestingly, this meant that the aircraft had to fly from the enemy direction in order to attack enemy tanks, but this was a huge advantage for aircraft that were injured during the attack.

On 25 October 1943, Hans Rudel was awarded the Knight's Iron Cross with two swords and silver oak leaves.

Earlier in March 1944, he completed his 1500th combat mission and was promoted to major.

Later in March, during a mission, Rudel's detachment was attacked by a detachment of La-5 fighters. One "Stuka" was damaged and forced to land on the ground, the crew was unharmed. Hans Rudel decided to land and rescue his comrades from enemy-occupied territory. The landing went smoothly and he pulled the crew out of the damaged plane, only to find that the plane could not take off because the ground was too soft. They were forced to advance on foot towards the German front while evading the pursuit of the Russians. Rudel and his comrades reached the Dniester and swam 600 meters in the icy water, and just as they were about to go ashore, his backseat machine gunner drowned. In the end, Rudel, wounded, returned to the German front. He then returned to his detachment and was warmly welcomed by his comrades.

On March 29, 1944, for his bravery, Major Hans Ulrich Rudel was awarded the highest military honor in Germany at the time, the Knight of the Order of Merit with Diamond and Two Swords and Silver Oak Leaves.

In November 1944, during a battle near Budapest, he was shot in the thigh. A few days later, however, he returned to the army with a cast on his leg. On January 1, 1945, Rudel was awarded the Iron Cross of the Order of Merit with Diamond and Twin Swords, becoming the only recipient of Germany's highest military honor (it can be said that this honor was created for him personally). In February, Rudel's plane was hit by ground anti-aircraft fire during a battle near Frankfurt and he was seriously wounded in the right thigh again, and he struggled back to the German-occupied zone, where he was soon taken to a field hospital and amputated. Then he was sent to a hospital in Berlin, where he was fitted with a prosthetic leg and soon returned to the army. At the end of the war, he wanted to take his detachment for a suicide attack, but was stopped by his superiors on the grounds that "it is possible that the Motherland will need him again in the coming days." That's the only reason he didn't commit suicide attacks.

The Normandy battlefield is also very lively these days, and Li Ming then intercepted a secret report and found that Lao Chiang sent students to become accomplices of the British.

Lu Dongge, male, born in 1913, is a native of Zunhua, Zhili (now Hebei). He graduated from the Qingdao National Naval School in 1934

In 1943, he was sent by the National Government to study in the United Kingdom, and successively studied at the Royal Naval College Greenwich and the Portsmouth Naval School, and practiced in the British Navy for one year. During this period, according to the needs of the British Royal Navy according to wartime, they were sent to various theaters of war, to practice on large warships in active service, and participated in the siege and sinking of the German large battleship "Scharnhorst" by the British Royal Navy task force in World War II

Guo Chengsen, a native of Hangzhou. A naval officer who graduated from the eighth phase of the Mawei Naval School, he was selected by the Kuomintang naval authorities to study in Britain in 1943. According to the needs of wartime, the British Royal Navy sent them to various theaters of war on large warships for internship in war. Guo Chengsen was assigned to the heavy cruiser "Kent", the home fleet of the British Royal Navy.

During the Battle of Normandy, Guo Chengsen successively commanded the naval artillery to fire thousands of shells, destroying a large number of German coastal defense facilities and tearing a big hole for the landing force. During the mine-laying blockade operation, he also directed the artillery to sink a large German lifeboat and 4 transport ships

In March 1944, Huang Tingxin was sent to the aircraft carrier "Seeker" as a deputy duty officer, mainly responsible for observing whether the aircraft carrier was at the right angle at sea and whether it was in the correct position in the formation. The Seeker took part not only in the Battle of Normandy, which began on June 6, 1944, but also in the landing of anti-fascist Allied forces near the port of Toulon in southern France.

How did these Koreans who were far away in the Asian theater during World War II reach Europe, and Normandy, France, became cannon fodder for the resistance to the Allied landing, and the soldiers of the Eastern Battalion were not only Koreans but also Uzbeks, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgians, of which Armenians and Georgians can explain the source only the service of the German captured on the battlefield during the launch of the North African campaign, and the foreign soldiers of the British and French, especially the Georgians, At that time, they were the French exile to England, Georgia was a French colony, they were super capable of fighting, they could endure hardships, and they were very predatory, they joined the French army for nothing more than money, in order to beg for a bite to eat, the way they treated the German fallen soldiers was to knock out their gold teeth, clothes and shoes, all useful items were cleaned and cleaned, the French did not mind, and they did not need to hand over and plunder money.

And the Germans just took a fancy to this, so they picked out from the prisoner of war camp to work for the Germans, they have no camp thinking, and there is no patriotism, etc., it is precisely the best control, in the German coastal defense units in Normandy, they were all selected to enter the German 709th Infantry Division, why the Koreans appeared in the German camp, this is a bit incredible, this has to start from the Battle of Nomenkan in 1939, when the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army was originally a C-level border garrison division, One-third of the troops were Koreans, and in the early stage of the conflict, this division, which was originally composed of only four wings, was suddenly expanded to seven wings plus an artillery wing, a tank squadron, etc., and became a motorized infantry division, with a number of about 26,000 people directly under the command of the Far East Theater of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

In the Sino-Soviet campaign, there were also Japanese allied troops captured by the Soviet army, and there were more than 100,000 Korean allied troops, and both sides had troops captured by the other.

In 941, the German army invaded the Soviet Union with a blitzkrieg, and the Soviet Union's nearly 2.4 million troops were annihilated or captured by the German army in just three months, and the Moscow Front, the Stalingrad Front, these two fronts were almost undefended, and at such a critical juncture, Stalin issued an order to release criminals and prisoners of war to fight for the Soviets, so these 2,000 Korean prisoners of war were directly incorporated into the Soviet Far East Theater of active duty, and then went to Moscow and the Stalingrad front, Most of these soldiers are Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Siberians, Koreans, etc., and the eastern faces appeared in the most fierce siege of Stalin's battle, the first batch is obviously cannon fodder troops, the Siberian 321 Infantry Division is fundamentally different from those prisoner of war units in the Soviet Union, they are the second batch of infantry divisions that entered Stalingrad for street fighting, with high beliefs, and well-equipped is the main division, and the Germans captured the first batch of prisoners of war troops who pressed through the city, So there was a battalion of Koreans who were captured by the Germans in this way.

In 1944, the Germans couldn't stand it this time, so they released it and formed various Eastern Battalions to be incorporated into the Normandy Front, the 709th Infantry Division, the 716th Infantry Division, the 243rd Infantry Division, the 950th Coastal Defense Regiment, the 752nd Eastern Regiment, the 319th Infantry Division, the 352nd Infantry Division, etc., which were the closest to the coast in Normandy at that time. The 950th Regiment was also an SS unit" was formed by Indians. "The 84th Army, which belongs to the German Army Group B, is under the direct command of General Marquez Artillery, and the mobile support unit of these front-line troops of the German Army is the famous 21st Panzer Division of the German Army, and the 84th Army of the German Army Group B belongs to the most front-line troops at that time, of course, the equipment is also the worst army, and it is precisely a cannon fodder unit that was pushed to the main location of the landing of the Allied forces on the front line in Normandy by historical coincidence, which was the luck of winning the lottery for the German 84th Army, For the Allies, it was a long period of preparation and intelligence gathering before they chose to log in there.
