Folks,

Dux:

I believe the Gigant was another of WW2s amazing plywood aircraft constructions and that it was indeed a miracle how it went from a mere gleam in Hermann's eye to production in such a short time.

Once we broke the Axis code so that the Allies could read Kesselring's mail, many a Gigant lumbering its merry way to resupply Rommel met with disaster. The result was that the Afrika Corps withered. Me thinks Monty gets too much credit at times and the Ultra code breakers too little when victory in North Africa is discussed.
