Скачать или смотреть The Spanish Luftwaffe Unit - Blue Squadrons on the Eastern Front

Discover the story of the First Blue Squadron (Escuadrilla Azul) – Franco's elite Spanish pilots who flew Messerschmitt Bf 109s for the Luftwaffe on the Eastern Front in 1941.
Despite Spain's official neutrality in WW2, veteran aces from the Spanish Civil War – led by 17-kill commander Ángel Salas Larrazábal – volunteered to repay Hitler's help in their victory against communism. Deployed to the central sector near Smolensk during Operation Typhoon, these biplane experts faced MiG-3s, I-16 "Ratas," and Pe-2 bombers while escorting Henschel Hs 123 ground attackers.
Watch as they claim their first 6 victories in just 12 days: double kills, wing-snapping maneuvers, and brutal emergency landings amid frustration with German training and muddy airfields.
