The Wilde Sau story

In the summer of 1943 the German night-fighter radar was blinded by chaff. The answer was improvised: single-seat day fighters, sent up over the burning target itself, hunting bombers by the light of searchlights and fires.

The tactic was called Wilde Sau, wild boar. It was flown by JG 300, 301 and 302, often in borrowed aircraft, without radar and without a navigator. Losses to weather, fuel and landing accidents were severe, and by the spring of 1944 the units had been turned over to day fighting.

What we do

We collect and sell original Luftwaffe objects: flight gear, uniforms, instruments and documents. Every piece is period, checked by hand and described as found, including its wear and repairs.

We sell history, not ideology. These objects belong to a war that cost millions of lives; we offer them to collectors, researchers and museums who want to preserve and understand that history.
