Focusing on the operational history of II./JG 3, this volume chronicles its formation in 1938 and key engagements during World War II, including campaigns in the West, Russia, and the Mediterranean. The narrative details its involvement in significant battles such as Malta and Stalingrad, highlighting the Gruppe's struggles and losses.
