Me109s of 6./JG5 led by Oberleutnant Heinrich Ehrler, while
based at Petsamo in Finland, as they soar high
above the towering peaks of ice-capped mountains glistening in
the cold polar air, March 1943.
Their dawn patrol keeps constant vigil along the glacial fjords
of Norway's far-northern coastline, as the
majestic vista gives the battle-hardened Me109 pilots a brief
moment of tranquility, far removed from the grim
and bitter battles being fought far below. |
