Berlin Boar Fight

By Anthony Saunders

On the night of 23/24 August 1943, a lone Fw190 of the Luftwaffe’s crack unit JG300 Wilde Sau, defiantly engages a force of RAF Lancasters in the heavily defended, flak-torn skies over Berlin. With the heavy bombers illuminated by bursting flak and the fires of the burning city below, the Luftwaffe pilot engages his target, just one of over 700 RAF long-range bombers thrown into the assault that night. 

Depicting the full drama of this massive raid, Anthony Saunders’ powerful painting – Berlin Boar Fight – is a masterful interpretation of events that night, created with extra authenticity of first hand reports from some of those who took part.
