'Down and out'.
Freddy McMannis weeps after the death of his wingman and brother. Soon, he will be captured and spend the rest of the war as a POW.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 14th, 1944, two P-51 D Mustangs from 337 Fighter Squadron were flying a 'Rhubarb Mission'. (The term given by British pilots to missions
flown by two men with no specific target: Harrass any enemy units.) The two Mustangs took off from Duxford air base at 10:00 AM and flew South across the
English Channel, until they reached the coast of France. The pair spotted a barge, and strafed it until it exploded and sank. It was only then that tracers
whizzed past the lead P-51, hitting a dro-tank, and creating a fierce fireball. The entirety of the Mustang's wing was engulfed in flames, and the aircraft and
her pilot ploughed into the ground. The tracers had come from a freelance Messerschmitt Bf109 G-6, flown by German ace Helmut Doerlitz. Doerlitz now had the 2nd P-51
in his sights, and he opened fire from 300 yards. The rounds struck the rear of the Mustang's tail, destroying her rudder controls. The pilot,
Freddy McMannis had to crash land in a French field. His aircraft eventually came to a rest within 5 feet of a telograph pole.
The P-51 that was destroyed was piloted by Freddy's older brother, Harry. The smouldering wreckage lay only 100 meters away from Freddy's downed P-51.
In a state of hysteria, Freddy sat on the wing of his aircraft, head in hands, and wept.[/quote]

WOW man is that a real story?
It

For a moment there I knew that something might be wrong with this story. LOL
I searched some books I have and also did a web-search for Freddy McMannis and the 337 Fighter Squadron,
but came up a blank. AH! You pulled my leg! But it did sound like a very intriguing and dramatic story.
Thanks ALOTEF

After the Storm
Moments after being bombarded by Russian shels, and the air still thick with smoke, a German officer struggles to his feet, while two of his soldiers lie dying in the freezing snow. After being pinned down for 3 days, the men finally surrendered after continuous bombardment. All were executed on site by the Russians.

[KG64_Cnopicilin]

Oh no. You made the trees well.

[ALOTEF]

Ya.
Here's a fixed version.. I accidentally made the truck go in front of the trees in the last pic.
