While flying a late afternoon combat patrol with Otto Fonnekolds schwarm, from 5 staffel, JG52, Willi Batz witnessed a taran or ramming attack by a soviet fighter on a Luftwaffe Fw189 artillery spotter.  Then a second Spitfire, which Batz mistook for an Aircobra attempted to finish off the crew which had just bailed out. At this point Batz was able to intervene and opened fire on the Spitfire forcing the Russian to take to his own parachute. This was to be his 12th victory, his final tally would be 237.  Unfortunately for the German crew they were all captured on landing. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSigned by :\u003cbr\u003eObergefreiter Walter Erker\u003cbr\u003eand\u003cbr\u003eFeldwebel Heinz Radlauer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLimited edition of 20 artist proofs.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Image size 12 inches x 8 inches (31cm x 21cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military Aviation Art Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54135307927885,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5449\/9149\/files\/2026NEWdp0160.jpg?v=1781872729","url":"https:\/\/militaryaviationartprints.com\/products\/taran-over-the-kuban-by-david-pentland-ap","provider":"Military Aviation Art Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
