Sea Wolves

The art print Sea Wolves' by Nicolas Trudgian shows Captain Erich Topp steering his Type VIIc U-Boat number U-552 'Red Devil' towards the sanctuary of the base at St Nazaire after another patrol during the gruelling Battle of the Atlantic in 1942. In the skies above, heading back out to hostile waters is a giant Focke Wulf 200 Condor from III/KG40 and three Ju88Ds from KGr 106 whose missions will be to search for vulnerable Allied shipping for the submarine 'Wolf Packs' to attack. The third-highest scoring U-Boat ace, Captain Topp sank a total of thirty ships and damaged three more whilst commanding the 'Red Devil'. Each Nicolas Trudgian print is supplied with its own Certificate of Authenticity.
