About the Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6
The Messerschmitt Bf109 continued to fight as the main fighter of the Luftwaffe throughout World War II. Among the Bf109, which produced more than 30,000 aircraft, the largest number in the history of fighter aircraft, and many developed and derived types were created, the G type is equipped with a Daimler-Benz DB605 engine with a takeoff output of 1,475 horsepower. And in order to counter the high bulletproof American B-17 bomber, the G-6, whose nose armament was reinforced from a 7.92mm machine gun to a 13mm machine gun, was serialized from February 1943 to February 1945. More than 13,000 aircraft were mass-produced. A distinctive feature of the aircraft is the bulge called the “voile” on the side of the nose that covers the discharge chute of the 13mm machine gun bullet. In addition, some aircraft were equipped with one 20mm machine gun gondola on the underside of the main wing to enhance firepower. The G-6 fought on a wide range of fronts, from the East and West fronts to the Mediterranean Sea, and fought hard to intercept bombers and fight air superiority until the end of the war.

About the Pkw.K1 Kubelwagen Type 82
During World War II, the Kubelwagen was used by the German army for communication, reconnaissance, and troop transport on all fronts, and was also used by the Air Force as a foot for crew members and soldiers. Developed based on Volkswagen, which was planned as a German national car. In addition to the simple and lightweight body structure, the highly reliable air-cooled engine and four-wheel independent suspension ensured excellent running performance.
