Private Published Book One Soldier From the Other Side Signed
290pgs REAL history SIGNED BY MEYER! Hans Meyer was born in 1927, and he spent most of his early years growing up in Brandenburg, Germany. At fourteen he joined a youth glider club and learned to fly (and repair) the SG-38. By the time he was sixteen, he had earned a Class C rating in gliding. When he was seventeen he joined the Luftwaffe to avoid being drafted into the army. In 1944 Germany was critically short on pilots, so a program was initiated to train glider pilots to become combat pilots…Hans jumped at the chance. In a very short period of time he completed flight training in Werneuchen with the ME-109 and was sent off for air combat. Jagdgeschwader 54 (Fighter Squadron 54) ‘the green hearts’ was his first assignment; stationed on the Eastern Front, his unit was faced with countering the advancement of the Russian army. Prior to eighteen years of age, Hans was credited with five confirmed kills against Soviet aircraft. On one mission he was shot down by enemy ground fire, made a successful landing, only to be captured by the Russians. But he escaped and did make it back to his unit. On his last flight mission, Hans was critically wounded in the leg, and spent several weeks in the hospital. Although he had not fully recovered, he was a patient capable of carrying a rifle, so he was drafted into the army. With his squadron long transferred to another location, Hans had to fight the remaining months of the war with the infantry. Written by Hans and Lar Stampe now its time to tell HIS story!
