About
The sculpture of a downed STUKA has been created by the German sculptor HEX whos father trained to become a STUKA pilot and ended up as a British POW.
In a spirit of remorse and reconciliation his son made this sculpture in original size and set it up at the Battle of Britain Memorial for the 80th anniversary of the Battle which started in July 1940. Hex is a Fellow of the Royal British Society of Sculptors.
