French tank used during the Second World War. Developed in the early 1920s, it went into production in 1934 to become one of the main equipment of the French army. Known as one of the best armored fighting tanks of its time, the B1 Bis was developed by modifying the previous B1 tank to cope with the increasingly tense situation that led to the outbreak of war. With a 75 mm cannon, an updated engine and reinforced armour, it could finally hold its own against the tanks of the Wehrmacht during the German invasion of May 1940.
When Rome became a republic in the late 6th century, it was a small state compared to the major Mediterranean states of the time. By the time of Augustus, in the early 1st century AD, it was the major regional power and well on its way to building the huge empire it is known for today. Much of that rise came during the third and second centuries (the period covered by this set), when it won against its rivals.
The Luftwaffe is a German air force that began to form in February 1935 under a special order from the Nazi dictator of Germany - Adolf Hitler. The commander of the Luftwaffe - from its inception, until the end of the Second World War - was Herman Göring. The quantitative development of German aviation in the period 1935-1939 was rapid, and at that time it was equipped with machines that actually served until the end of the war, including the Me-109 fighter, Ju-87 Stukas dive bombers or bombers mediums like the He-111 or Ju-88. Some German pilots also gained combat experience while serving as part of the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939). Furthermore, even before the war, the Luftwaffe was oriented in such a way that it could support the operations of the ground forces as effectively as possible. This was reflected in its equipment, structure and organization, as well as in the training of pilots. The German air force emerged successfully from campaigns in Poland, Norway and France, with the Luftwaffe suffering relatively heavy losses in the latter campaign, both in aircraft and personnel. On the other hand, a very painful lesson was the Battle of Britain, during which it suffered a decisive defeat, losing many more planes, and especially well-trained pilots, than the enemy. It can be added, among other things, that Adolf Galland was one of the best fighter pilots of the Luftwaffe during this battle. During the fighting on the Eastern Front (1941-1945), the German Air Force, especially at the beginning of the conflict, dominated the quality of aircraft and the training of crews and pilots, which resulted in horrendous aviation losses Soviet and led to even fantastic results in shooting down German fighter aces, such as Hermann Graf or Walter Nowotny. However, in the years 1942-1943 the balance of victory in the air war over Europe began to tip towards the Soviet and - above all - allied aviation, which, thanks to machines such as the latest versions of the Spitfire or the P- 51 Mustang, caused more and more losses to the German Luftwaffe, also during the fighting over Germany and during strategic bombings. Even the Luftwaffe's efforts to make a qualitative leap by introducing jet machines such as the Me-262 or Ar-234 into line in 1944-1945 brought no effect, and the increasingly less trained German pilots suffered increasing losses in the clash with the allied machines. It is assumed that from the beginning of the war to January 1945, Luftwaffe personnel losses amounted to approximately 140,000. people killed and about 155 thousand. missing people.
