"You underestimated the German Panzer Force!"

Major Kohler is the 2nd boss in Aces of the Luftwaffe

Overview
Major Kohler is the boss of the chapter Panzer Menace, and is in charge of the Panzer invasion of France. He wears a black overcoat,a monocle,and a black officer cap. He flys a Floating Tank, and uses his units as his strength.

Gameplay
Major Kohler commands a Floating Tank, which has 4 large tanks on the sides to stabilize the tank. When the battle first begins, Major Kohlers cannon fires a three round burst of large tank shells. After destroying the 4 large tanks, he will spin out of control. At this time, the player should shoot at the turret to destroy some of his tank, and ground him earlier. Next, the player will encounter some forces of the Luftwaffe, and a power-up plane squadron. The Squadron will always grant the player a repair kit. During this aerial battle, Major Kohler's tank is visible on on the ground being healed by Panzers. Dropping bombs on the tanks will result in Kohler having less health in the next appearance. Once he is back in the air, he will be upgraded, being able to drop air mines, which will explode once they leave the screen. After repeating the steps to destroy him, he will spin out of control again and can be shot down. The same scene will happen like last time, and he will be able to be bombed. At the last appearance, he will have upgraded speed, damage, and can now fire large salvos of missiles. He can also randomly charge the player, and he will then leave the screen, and charge at the player, while dropping air mines and firing missiles. After destroying his 4 fuel tanks and his turret, he will spin out but never drop to the ground, and can be finally destroyed. Note large spreads of small bullets will be shot out whenever he spins out. Defeating him will award the player the achievements Panzers No More and The Panzer Menace.
