The Invasion of Yugoslavia occurred between April 6-April 17, 1941 and it is one of those battles that still has repercussions today on the Yugoslavian political scene.

Earlier in 1941 Hitler has persuaded Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria to join the Axis; after discussions with the Yugoslavian leader it was believed that Yugoslavia would follow suit and join the Axis Powers but an uprising by the anti-Axis Serbian public and military led to a coup d’etat. Upon hearing of this uprising Hitler became incensed and vowed to destroy Yugoslavia for its transgressions.

The Invasion began on April 6th and it was over fairly quickly. The Yugoslavian resisters insisted on trying to defend the entire Yugoslavian border and simply did not have the resources or manpower to do so. With continual attacks by the German Luftwaffe and coordinated movements by the German, Italian and Hungarian ground troops, the resistance ended quickly and order was restored in Hitler’s world.

German casualties were remarkably light as only 151 soldiers were killed. On the other side of the battlefield thousands of civilians and soldiers were killed for Yugoslavia and more than a quarter-million were captured and imprisoned. Yugoslavia itself was divided between Germany, Italy and Hungary and a separate Croatia was formed. Sadly this area is still in the news today as these political divisions and deep-rooted hatred seem to cause uprisings and reprisals many decades after the war.

We at HiTech Creations find World War 2 fascinating and it was our fascination that led us to create Aces High; it was also that fascination and reverence towards the soldiers who fought in that war that led us to concentrate all of our efforts on making Aces High the only game in our stable, and we fervently attempted to make it the best combat flight simulator on the market.

After over a decade of producing Aces High we can proudly say that we achieved our goals. Aces High is the preferred flight sim game for serious games around the world. If you are looking for a World War 2 Flight Simulator then look no further than Aces High. Strap on your helmet and fly the skies with Aces High; find out why our flight sim has been the leader for so many years. One word of caution to those of you who have never played Aces High: be prepared to be hooked and spend many hours playing. It truly is an addictive experience.

Flight sim games come and flight sim games go, but for over a decade Aces High has remained the number one combat flight simulator. One reason is our special events which are ongoing throughout each and every month.

On the 14th you have a chance to participate in a King of the Hill special event, using a Spitfire Mk.IX. This should be challenging and thrilling and we just might find out just how good you are pitted against some of the best gamers on the planet. Fly the skies with Aces High!
