Hi,

The "Bomben Auf Engeland" magazine is the eighth title in a series of twelve publications called "Kleine Kriegshefte".
The complete series are - No.1, "Wir Von Der Westfront" No.2, "Drauf Und Dran!", No.3 "10 Stunden Schneller!" No.4, "Sturm Vor Englands Joren" No.5/6 "Siegeszug Durch Frankreich" ( a double issue) No.7 "Ran An Den Feind!" No.8 "Bomben Auf Engeland" No.9 "Wir Schmieden Die Waffen" No.10 "Gegen England In Nordafrika!" No. 11 "Im Aufmarsch Uberrannt!" and lastly No.12 "Gift!".
These magazines were published by the Nazi Party, and stopped after issue 12. All are typical Third Reich propaganda, an interesting read.

Best wishes,

John.

Deutsche Luftwach Luftwehr (German Air Watch Air Defence) - Dezember 1936

Interesting that they used a photo of the Stuka on the cover of Bomben aüf Engeland Nr.8.

While it was wildly successful in Poland, France and the low countries, its operational effectiveness in the Battle of Britain was much less useful than the Germans had hoped.
The Stuka's limited range made it very effective only against shipping in the English Channel and a few coastal English targets. And its slow speed depended on air superiority by the Luftwaffe as it's primary defense. Unlike the earlier European campaigns (and later in the east), air superiority over England was never won, so the Luftwaffe had to change their plans, redeploy their Stukas elsewhere, and use standard bombers in Britain instead of dive bombers.
