Description

BF 110G-2 Q1+VB, 12/SG 77, Russia, 1943

Description: When used as a heavy-fighter-bomber the Bf-110 had mixed results. But when airborne radar was added along with nose-mounted armament and Schrage Musik (the upward firing cannons) the Bf-110 became a deadly nighttime predator for British bombers. By the end of 1942 Germany had almost 400 night-fighters of which 75% were Bf-110s. These deadly hunters managed to destroy almost 1300 aircraft during 1942 alone. As the British bomber attacks increased in size and frequency the Bf-110 was simply overwhelmed and couldn’t cope allowing more and more bombs to make it to German cities.

The new Bf-110G-2 was first introduced to the war zone in January 1943 when it arrived in Russia. Over the course of 1943 278 Bf-110G-2s were sent to the Eastern Front. Within a month of arriving the aircraft were pressed into action when the Germans were driven out of Stalingrad. With the lack of Russian heavy bombers for the Bf-110 to tackle they were assigned to ground attacks in an effort to slow Russian tanks and troops advancing westward. By the end of 1943 all Bf-110s were withdrawn from Russia.
