Berlin Boar Fight by Anthony Saunders. (RM) PER578 and the threat of enemyDHM6340RM. Berlin Boar Fight by Anthony Saunders. On the night of 23 24 August 1943, a lone Fw190 of the Luftwaffe's crack unit JG300 Wilde Sau, defiantly engages a force of RAF Lancasters in the heavily defended, flak torn skies over Berlin. With the heavy bombers illuminated by bursting flak and the fires of the burning city below, the Luftwaffe pilot engages his target, just one of over 700 RAF long range bombers thrown into the assault that night.
