INWAR - STAGE I

 

Prologue

A beautiful late summer morning dawned on the Caucasus. A butterfly was trying to find a landing spot in a group of daisies, but the attempts were continuously interrupted by the warm breeze which blew across the large meadow. A discussion carried from a nearby gate, where a group of men in blue uniforms had been stopped by a soldier. Despite the lengthy explanations in the broken German accent of the seemingly inebriated foreign flight officers, the guard refused to accept their poor excuses for missing their curfew and declined their entry into the airfield. The discussion quickly turned into a heated argument, consisting of mainly swearwords of an incomprehensible northern language.

 

Suddenly the air raid sirens went off and the airbase exploded into action. The pilots took advantage of the confusion, pushed the Luftwaffe Feldregiment guard aside and rushed towards a group of airplanes parked on the perimeter of the airfield, camouflaged in dugouts. The pilots threw off their uniform jackets, exchanged their half-emptied wine bottles to parachutes and climbed into the cockpits of their Messerschmitt 109G's. Almost immediately the DB605's came alive, as the mechanics had already prepared the planes for a quick takeoff. The whine of the superchargers drowned in the roar of the exhausts. As the planes throttled up and sped across the meadow and into the sky, the freshly painted white roundels with blue von Rosen crosses glistened in the morning sun. The Finnish Air Force special detachment had just taken off for its first combat mission from the Luftwaffe airbase at Krymskaya. It was September 1942.

Epilogue:

The group of 109s returned back to base, taxied to their dugouts and as the last DB605 was shut off, the silence fell over the meadow. The mechanics climbed on the wings, helped open the canopies and handed the chilled bottles back to the pilots. A light breeze kicked off some dust over the group of daisies. One of the flowers swayed lightly as the butterfly took off, its coiled proboscis glistening from the fresh nectar.
