The Ju88 was initially designed as a fast bomber with long range capability. Awarding a contract for a new Attack Aircraft the RLM (Imperial Aviation Ministry) decided in favour of the Ju88, which only needed slight modification in order to fulfil this role. Instead of the glazed nose section a new flat metal nose was fitted which housed three MG17's and either one MG FF or an MG 151/20. As a substitute for the Bf110 Attack Aircraft a Night Fighter version based on the Ju88C was introduced and entered service as the Ju88 C-6. When the first night surveillance equipment - FuG 202 "Lichtenstein" - came into service this was also fitted to the Ju88C-6. By the end of the War and Including the Ju 88C Night Fighter version, a total of 3964 Ju 88 Night and Attack fighters were manufactured.

They came across the wild Atlantic - 104 men, women and children, as well as 30 sailors - in search of the longed-for land of freedom. A typical merchant vessel of the 17th century, the Mayflower left the English coast behind on 6 September 1620. On board the little vessel the Pilgrim Fathers and their families were at the mercy of the swirling sea, exposed to terrible storms, fever, disease and constant uncertainty. After 67 days and a distance of 3,500 sea miles, land was sighted at last. Still on board, the 41 Pilgrim Fathers signed Americas first charter proclaiming majority rule, the basis of American democracy. Their first settlement later became the city of Plymouth.

The Sd.Kfz. 7 - 8 tonne medium tracked infantry vehicle - was one of the best known tractors used by the German Army in the Second World War. This half-track was primarily used as an artillery tractor for heavy guns. Another variant was the Sd.Kfz. 7/1 with a mount for a 2 cm four-barrelled AA gun 38. For transporting munitions an Sd.Ah 52 was also used. An armoured driver's cab provided better protection for the crew. To defend against the continually growing threat from allied aircraft more and more mechanised troop units were equipped with these self-propelled gun carriages.

A Gift Set with two models of the R.M.S. Titanic

The keel of the Titanic was laid on 31.03.1909 at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Northern Ireland. The liner was equipped with the ultimate in elegance and luxury for service with the noted transatlantic White Star Line. Two years later, on 31.05.1911 the Titanic was launched. With a length of 269.04 m, a beam of 28.19 m and a tonnage of 46,320 GRT, in 1912 she was the largest ship in the world. Captain Edward John Smith transferred from her sister ship the Olympic specifically for the maiden voyage of the Titanic. On Wednesday 10.04.1912 she set out from Southampton. Cherbourg (France) and Queenstown (Ireland) were stops on the way to New York (USA). The voyage proceeded without problems until, following numerous warnings of icebergs, on Sunday (14.04.1912) at about 23.40 hours (ship's time) the look-out's bell rang out. The ship scraped against the iceberg on the starboard side and after two hours and forty minutes in the icy waters of the Atlantic she sank. Only 712 souls survived this disaster.
