Heinkel He 177 Units of World War II

Robert Forsyth - 2018

Overview

The Heinkel He 177 'Greif' (Griffon) represented Nazi Germany's potential strategic bomber. Had its initial issues been resolved and production scaled, it could have enabled the Luftwaffe to conduct long-range, mass bombing operations. Despite developmental challenges and competing interests, the aircraft saw service from mid-1943 over various fronts, including England, the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and Russia. It remained in service until the war's end, with some units undertaking perilous low-level missions against Soviet armor in late 1944 and 1945.
