Fafnir and his companions spent a wonderful, shameless, and shameless holiday in Paris. During this period, Dick Clown Carl and his friends also joined in and met each other.
Two old acquaintances - Second Lieutenant Eichmann Litbarsky and Second Lieutenant Richter von Hubbell, who captured the French together. A group of people got drunk and chased women through the streets during the holidays, and were finally arrested by the military police.
They were all locked up in the bureau and spent their last holiday.
Soon, the German occupying forces issued an order restricting German soldiers from entering Paris at will during their vacations. Fafnier and the others were kicked back to the army, and the entire unit was mobilized to Calais to begin training for the landing battle. Fafnier
Er watched several tanks being loaded with submersible equipment for testing, so he stood aside and curled his lips in disdain. His companions on the other side couldn't help but laugh as they looked at him making grimaces. The company commander looked at him with dissatisfaction from several superior officers.
Turning purple with anger, he caught Fafnir and ordered other soldiers to send the troublemaker to the barracks for confinement.
Sure enough, as Fafnir and other soldiers expected, diving across a river with a tank and diving across the English Channel are completely different things. The distance is as far as going to the next door house and going to the moon. The experiment failed shamefully. "This is the first time."
The first ridiculous ideas of the Three Reichs..." Fafnir laughed in the barracks.
However, the normal landing war drills were still carried out step by step. He and his companions practiced various landing technical issues every day, and constantly changed the training content according to the orders of his superiors. It can be said that he successfully channeled the energy of the front-line German officers and soldiers time and time again.
It was completely consumed during the exercise.
The British refused to surrender. On August 13, the Battle of Britain officially started. Fafnir and his armored and army soldiers were idle in France, while their friends in the Air Force attacked one after another. The two pilots he knew both participated in the Battle of Britain, and Hubbell launched
With the Messersmit 109 escorting the bomber formation - pitiful for the short legs of his aircraft, Litbarsky and the crew members flew to the British radar station in their new favorite aircraft - the JU88.
In early September, the battle started over London. German eagles spread a rain of death over London. Whether it was day or night, German bombers dropped bombs over London. Junkers 88 and Henschel 111
Groups of short-leg 109s and long-leg 110s flew into the skies over Britain, while the Spitfires and Hurricane brothers returned to the airport on short-leg 109s when they were low on fuel and Junkers 88s and Henschel 111s lost cover.
Enter the group of aircraft and attack the bombers. Planes keep falling from the sky. However, after the British pilot falls, as long as he is not dead, he can change another plane to fly to the sky. After the German pilot falls, he is finished. Basically, in the next 5 years, he will be in the sky.
British POW camp passed.
At the end of September, the air force to which Second Lieutenant Hubbell belonged was ordered to stop the air cover mission and transfer to Germany for replenishment. While preparing for the transfer, Hubbell met his old friend Fafnir, whom he had been detained with in Paris.
, Dornberger, Bellwegen, O'Brien and Dick Carr, they met in a bar outside the station. When someone asked about the battle, Hubbell told Fafnir and them: "Ashe
Mann is dead, killed in the battle over London."
It turned out that Eichmann Litbarsky drove a J88 to continuously bomb the United Kingdom. In late September, he launched a night bombing attack on London. After flying over London and dropping bombs, he fought with British fighter jets in an attempt to retreat. Under the sky full of anti-aircraft fire,
I don’t know whether it was the firepower of the Spitfire or the firepower of the British 20-pound anti-aircraft gun. In short, his bomber was punched with a big hole, the engine began to fire and leak oil, and the plane was falling rapidly. Eichmann gave the order to parachute.
, I was the last one to jump out of the burning cockpit. The parachute had just opened, and the plane he crashed passed him by. I don’t know if it was the debris falling from the plane or the Junkers who still fired unyieldingly at the Junker.
The anti-aircraft artillery tore Eichmann Litbarsky's parachute into pieces, and he fell like a stone... Below were the burning buildings...
Second Lieutenant Eichmann Litbarsky, a J88 pilot and captain of the Luftwaffe, died in combat over London, England, on the night of September 23, 1940, at the age of 25.
Fafnir and his friends raised a glass to mourn the death of a friend. Although Richter von Hubbell had just obtained his ninth aerial victory a few days ago and received an award, he still expressed his gratitude for the death of a friend.
He was depressed because his friend died in the battle. After everyone said goodbye, Hubbell returned to the airport to prepare for the transfer, while Fafnir and the others also returned to the military camp after sighing.
Throughout the summer and autumn, and into the winter, Fafnir and the others spent their time training for the landing battle, but at the beginning of 1941, an order transferred them to eastern Germany. After riding in a military vehicle for several days and nights, Fafnir
I got out of the car and stretched. This is eastern Germany. They got off the car here and transferred to other military trains to go to Poland. Fafnir is now a sergeant, and he has gained a lot from training and the expansion of the armored force.
His own tank - the No. 4 E-type tank after the overhaul was completed. The number on it was changed to 513. He is now the commander and has his own subordinates.
After arriving in Poland, Fafnir waited until his tanks were transported to the station. This station was not far from the present-day Soviet border in Poland. There were more than a dozen tanks and self-propelled artillery arrayed in the station. Now Dick Clown Karl and
Bellwegen has been promoted to the military rank and is now a vehicle commander. Dick also drives the No. 4e, and Bellwegen commands the No. 3h. Dornberger and Juncker, who is still fighting with an injured arm, have become other

new friends.
Fafnir knew that Dick also knew that the most arduous and bloody Soviet-German war in World War II was about to begin, and that the bloody battle on the Eastern Front would test everyone's character and luck.
In April 1941, the Waffen SS made a big splash in Yugoslavia and conquered Yugoslavia in just a few days. Earlier, in February, a new series of the German Army, the Afrika Korps, was completed.
into North Africa. In April, the news of the victory of the African Army came out together with the news of the conquest of Yugoslavia by the Waffen-SS. The morale of the Polish German army was greatly boosted and they expressed envy of their counterparts in Africa. At the same time, countless soldiers
The trains headed for Poland and Yugoslavia, unloading a large amount of military supplies and establishing legions with great achievements on the Western Front. Countless fighters and bombers also quietly transferred to Poland and Yugoslavia. Three German army groups have been established.
