A Messerschmitt Bf 109E 7 over the Libyan desert, summer 1941. This aircraft was flown by Oberleutnant Karl Wolfgang Redlich of JG 27 “Afrika,” a fighter unit that played a significant role in the air war over North Africa, targeting supply routes, airfields, and frontline positions.
The Bf 109 “Emil” remained a formidable opponent in 1941. Its speed, climb rate, and agility made it well suited for rapid interceptions and short, intense engagements.

On the same day that thousands of Zulus overran and destroyed Lord Chelmsford’s No. 3 Column, a separate force of Zulus, 3,000-4,000 strong, broke off from the main force and travelled six miles to assault Rorke’s Drift. Rorke’s Drift was a mission station and was host to a British garrison of roughly 140 British regulars of the 24th Regiment of Foot, 11 colonial troops and 4 civilians. This small contingent was under the command of Lt. John Chard of the Royal Engineers and Lt. Gonville Bromhead of the 24th. Together with other men such as Commissary James Dalton, Gert Adendorff and Frank Bourne, the tiny British garrison held out against constant Zulu attacks all throughout the afternoon of January 22, into the night and the small hours of the next morning. When it was over, 351 Zulu lay dead with many hundreds more wounded. The British had lost 17 killed with almost every other man sustaining some sort of wound. For their gallant defense, multiple decorations were awarded to the defenders including 11 Victoria Crosses, the most ever received for a single action by one regiment.
