Description

The Gestapo Hunters – The Story Behind the Print

Michael “Rusty” Steele-Morgan’s The Gestapo Hunters commemorates the RAF Mosquito raid on Gestapo Headquarters at Aarhus, Denmark, on 31 October 1944.

The low-level precision attack was mounted by Mosquito crews of 140 Wing after the Danish Resistance requested action against Gestapo records and operations threatening its networks.

The artwork has a particularly strong connection with the people involved in the wider story. The edition carries eight historical signatures representing 487 RNZAF Squadron, 464 RAAF Squadron, 140 Wing and the Danish Resistance, together with the signature of artist Michael “Rusty” Steele-Morgan.

Every recorded name, rank, decoration, squadron or role is retained in the signature list above. Each print is individually numbered and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity.
