Knights Move by Robert Taylor
The supply convoys from the UK to Russia started in late 1941, following Churchills promise to Stalin to send convoys every 10 days. The Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe were quick to respond ordering Tirpitz and a naval task force to Norway with significant fighter cover.
'Knights Move" illustrates Tirpitz in company with the Battleships Scherr and Hipper setting out from their base in the Norwegian Fjords to the North Atlantic convoy routes. Overhead cover is provided by Me109's of JG5 based out of Petsamo.
The Tirpitz Edition is signed by two Kriegsmarine officers who served on the Tirpitz, Arnold Schroeder and Willibald Volsing together with four Luftwaffe pilots, Ernst Scheufele, Eric Rudorffer, Hajo Hermann and Heinz Kern.
The eight-signature veteran's edition with companion print "Borne on Eagles Wings" is sign by an additional two Luftwaffe Aces, Edmund "Paule" Rossman and Gunther Scholz. The pencils companion print "Borne on Eagles Wings" is signed by two more Luftwaffe pilots, Gunther Kolb and Walter Schuck.
