In the spring of 1942 the first of the Allied 1,000 bomber raids was launched against the Third Reich. From then on, Germany was pounded by night and by day by a vast armada of Allied aircraft. With a fighter force stretched to capacity by war in Russia and 24-hour defense of the Reich, the Luftwaffe relied on skill, ingenuity and the excellence of their planes to counter the Allied threat. A key element of that German defense, both during the day and at night, was the Fw 190. A rugged, well armed and reliable machine, and a lethal one in the right hands, the Fw 190 fought Allied bombers right up to the end of the war.
