Heinkel He 177 Units Of World War 2

In many ways, the Heinkel He 177 `Greif` (Griffon) was Nazi Germany`s `lost` strategic bomber. With some fundamental creases ironed out, and built in numbers, the He 177 would have offered the Luftwaffe the means with which to carry out long-range, mass bombing attacks against targets of a strategic nature. Although competing interests and personalities served to prevent this from happening, from mid-1943 the aircraft nevertheless saw service over England, the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and in Russia.
