Corgi AA36702 Junkers JU-88A-5 Luftwaffe 4D+MN 5/KG30, 'Adler Geschwader', Finland, 1941-42

This item has a limited edition certificate included.

This is a model of a medium bomber that participated in the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union. Officially Finland was neutral in the Russo-German war, but in all practical respects Finland had committed herself to join the Barbarossa. Finish Defence Forces were fully mobilized and stationed along the eastern border. In northern Finland, German ground forces were already operating against the Soviets, and the Luftwaffe was freely using designated Finish airfields to attack Soviet targets. Kampfgeschwader 30 "Adler" was formed on 15th November 1939 in Greifswald.
