After two months of continuous combat in the Leningrad area flying the Heinkel He 111 twin-engined bomber and with 50 missions under my belt, I was now a seasoned Luftwaffe pilot. It was November 16, 1942, and I was earning a short break from the war. I hoped to enjoy it to the fullest. That was until the Russians went on the offensive. The 'Ivans' (Russian ground troops) poured through our lines at Welikije-Luki, west of Moscow. It was controlled chaos as I flew with the rest of the group on mission after mission. Our He 111s attacked train stations, troops and depots.
