   • IL2 Battle of Moscow Career Herman H...  

A wounded Luftwaffe Major Herman Hubar returns to active duty and
is assigned to a Heinkel HE111H6 unit KG53 (Condor legion).
The mission almost went completely FUBAR
Simply because the Command at the other base decided to give
us BF110 for escorts NOT BF109s which SHOULD have been escorting.
To make things worse our escorts lost 2 planes in a collision when they were CLIMBING.
Finally we were attacked and our escort was no where to be found and I lost Heinkel C (Number 3). He sadly did not return. Never the less the objective was completed. What ultimately saved us was that the the Heinkel crews professionalism and even though the Soviet Air Force pilots were brave and relentless. They were not well trained
