wilde sau

German for "wild boar" although sau can refer to pig or swine, but in this case it refers to boar. it generally refers to luftwaffe tactics during the 2nd world war , where bf109s would attack b17s seen by the silhouette against the clouds lit up by spotlights on the ground. there would also be 88mm flak shooting in designated sectors so friendly air forces dont fly through it.

my grandfather was a pilot who flew using wilde sau tactics
