Cover: One of a Luftwaffe Patrol

Battalions of the Luftwaffe were employed on the ground also during the hard defensive fighting in the east, from which our forces emerged as victors. They have since then been fighting shoulder to shoulder with their comrades in the army and have rendered signal service in all the operations in which they have been engaged.
