Adler Luftverteidigungsspiel (1941)

Translated English title: Eagles Air Defense Game

This game was produced in World War II-era Dresden, and the instructions say it was "developed by an officer of the Luftwaffe with the aim of the defence of our airspace. It's more profound reason is to be prepared for an attack on the Fatherland". Created for the Hitler Youth to teach them the strategic thinking needed to defeat an enemy.

This is a WWII era children's game about anti-aircraft batteries. Each player has to try a bombing raid on the enemy city. The 24 wooden airplanes are 6 escort fighters and 6 bombers for each side. Hits are determined via a special die. Each player (red and blue) tries to gain air superiority over the board, attacking the opponents positions and defending their own.

Grafe's, ironically, were destroyed in the firestorm caused by the Allied bombing of Dresden in 1945.

The game was "developed by an officer of the Luftwaffe with the aim of the defence of our airspace." It was also said "It's more profound reason is to be prepared for an attack on the Fatherland."
