Why aren't you in the bomb shelter?

Why aren't you in the bomb shelter I ask?

We put out the lighters.

Uncle, are you a sailor?

- Pilot. - A pilot?

Why don't you fly?

Why don't you fly?

1941. Wings Over Berlin

Go!

I wish you health!

Comrade Captain.

The redhead complains. The Moscowite didn't let him sleep.

He turned out to be a big chatterbox.

This is from civilian life since I was in China with my father as a child.

I couldn't sleep before the first fight either.

I looked calm, but my knees were shaking.

Generally speaking, our Moscowite is one of the intelligent ones.

His father is probably on the diplomatic line...

The savage asks: "How did you get away? We tied you up just right."

The pilot answers:

"That you tied me... you tied me, but you did not bind me".

Seryoga, where do you find these jokes?

I told him long ago that he should read my old verses.

What are you laughing at? - He wishes health, Comrade Captain.

Hello, Kolya.

Comrade commander, we were in the warehouse.

The Moscowite was left without boots at training.

Measured them and... Two sizes up.

His leg 39. Rub your heels until they bleed.

We barely found the smallest ones. - I wish you health.

Comrade Captain, allow me to turn around? - Come on.

I was told that if the crew did not return from combat, then anyone could

take their personal belongings.

That's right.

Can I run to the tent? - Not "can", but "allow".

He regrets his father's razor. It is imported.

What in the world is a razor for?

I don't want anyone else to use it.

Comrade Captain, permit. He quickly takes off his shoes and�

Get ready! - Preobrazhensky is coming.

You won't make it any more. Command is coming.

Ravnis!

Peacefully!

Hey Moscowite! He didn't answer me yesterday.

Do you have a girlfriend? - What?

Hush-hush... - On course 194 left,

I see a convoy. Nine units.

We take combat altitude 50, speed 250.

Got it: course 194, altitude 50, speed 250.

A group on a combat course...

Aim to the right of the first one, we're working on a plan.

What, is it scary?

I'm not afraid.

Just what a man our commander is.

With him, we will win the war within a month.

Commander, we attack the transport with the "hump", it is the fattest.

The third of the flagship. - Sure, I see.

The third one with the hump. We are working.

Come on, buckle up!

Right two, Commander. Course 193, speed 260.

Accepted.

Get attached!

Ready, I'm ready to fight.

Group, here we go.

Seryoga was hit, Commander.

It's burning. It's falling.

Seryoga falls.

Stop panicking. We are working!

Navigator. Are you ready?

Get ready.

Another degree.

Another degree.

Throw it!

The torpedo has been fired.

We are relieved!

Course 176! We're leaving!

We did it, Commander! We deleted the "pharmason".

Yes!

Yes!

There is a second hit.

Messer! Shit, Rizhi! Where are you looking?

Rizhi, did you fall asleep? Where is the German?

Now... Now I'm going to... you bastard.

I hit it! I hit it!

Third, answer! What happened? Report the situation.

They hit the pipeline. The right engine stopped.

Will you last? - I think we will succeed.

Let's go home. Good job bro.

Here such...

Our Moscowite, it seems... He...

What does "seem" mean, Rizhi?

What is up with him?

He's not breathing.

I wish you health, Comrade in Command. Commander of the first mine torpedo

regiment, Colonel Preobrazhensky.

I wish you health. Come to headquarters.

At headquarters.

German propaganda,

fellow officers,

solemnly announced the complete destruction of our aviation.

This false statement, and also the airstrikes on Moscow

that started a week ago

I was forced to consider the

question of a retaliatory bomb strike

with the mine-torpedo aviation forces of the Baltic Fleet.

Admiral Kuznetsov reported my proposal to the Supreme.

A positive response was given yesterday.

Congratulations.

This difficult task was entrusted to your regiment.

What objects is planned to be retaliated against?

Sugar, Comrade General.

We're going to bomb Berlin, lads.

I don't see joy on their faces.

From here to Berlin, even with extra tanks...

This is the island of Saarem��.

Cagul Aerodrome is located here, on which it is now based

12th Covering Squadron.

We are transferring 12 bombers from our Bezzabotnoe base there.

Experienced crews only.

Tallinn will provide us with provisions.

From Kronstadt to minesweepers we will deliver ammunition there.

We're taking off. We pass over the sea through Gotland,

towards the German coastline.

Damaged, turn and to Berlin.

Total length of the route - 1,760 km.

What do you think? - It's not easy.

Who do you think could lead the group?

I will lead her.

Immediately. And to whom will you leave the regiment?

For the commander "hooray"!

Congratulations to the crew for accomplishing the mission!

What, how did you bomb? - All in the goal.

Did Valentinich have any alcohol left? - There was half a barrel after us.

If we ask him nicely, he will pour into a jar.

Cheremis, drink and sleep. And don't hang around the aerodrome.

Yes, Commander. - This is an order.

Well, who will go to Valentinich? - Lieutenant Cheremis!

Who was pulling your tongue?

What's wrong? - Galya is leaving.

She was transferred to a hospital in Leningrad.

He's leaving. - Understood. Is that all?

It's waiting for you there.

Her car leaves at 7.

You may never meet again.

Pity. But what to do, it's war.

She knew you wouldn't come!

He immediately said, "He's not like that."

And I said to her: "If he is not a scoundrel, he will come!"

So, is he waiting for you?

So he's leaving for good, right?

Finally got it.

Maybe now you'll be in her place, huh?

Will we see you tonight?

You are a scoundrel, Cheremis.

Reds!

I'll be right back...

Yes, Comrade Captain... - Where's the razor?

Bring it.

Here it is.

Flight is difficult.. At extreme altitude.

Choose the smartest. And the healthy ones, of course.

Get the machines ready! No time, Colonel.

So true, Comrade General.

Preobrazhensky!

You will lead the group!

You will leave Polka to Filatov.

About Berlin - not a word to anyone.

I will let you know the details of the preparation later.

I'm listening!

...Unfortunately, I don't see any improvement.

But I'm healthy... I'm healthy, I tell you!

I wish you health.

What is up with him? - I wish you health, Colonel.

For tomorrow we need a flight list without health restrictions.

For the time being, they are all unlimited.

And if the flight is at an altitude of more than 6000 metres?

Are you sure everyone will make it?

How long will they have to fly?

Long.

Get ready!

Did everyone hear? You have a command "Build!"

Why a shooter?

We ship in batches, not individually.

What kind of special operation is this?

Well, if it's one, let it be one.

Ravnis! Peacefully!

Comrade Captain. The cadets... - Leave it. Do you see the band?

Tomorrow is their last class. They are released in the morning.

Choose. He will take one.

And you followed, put a mark in the headquarters.

And where is Murashov?

Ant! - Bite! It's wild�

Contagion. I got you wild�

What's the name?

I haven't thought of it yet.

You're coming with me.

Ant, go out of order. Go get your things.

Well, come on lads.

Khokhlov, how is it on the horizon?

Commander, right on the course is the island of Saarem��.

Saarem��.

Hold on!

Good morning, teacher! - Good morning.

Hello Emma. - Hello, Mr. Chairman.

"Comrade". "Comrade Chairman".

Listen, Emma. The Russians offered our girls a job.

They built a new kitchen for 150 people.

They are waiting for additions. They promise to pay.

The head of the canteen asked if we had an interpreter.

Do you want me to translate for them?

They will pay you too.

In fact, you promised that we would go to Tallinn this week.

About the new textbooks, remember?

I remember. - He also promised

the military to return the school to us by August 1st.

And what can I do? War...

Emma... - Yes, I understood everything.

I never understood, do you agree or not?

I'll think about.

We're going down.

They hide their Gulls well. They are not scared.

What bothers me more is why they don't extend the runway.

Get ready, we're about to land.

It's dangerous, Nikolaych.

There is a bulldozer on the track, right at the end.

I see.

Aeroplane.

Damn it, hurry up, Stepanich! The bulldozer!

Commander, it won't work. Go right, it won't work!

Behind him, behind him...

Well, rest.

Let us help, Comrade Navigator.

It will begin now. - Hold on.

Authority. Get up, get up..

Peacefully!

I wish you health, Colonel. - Who is leading the construction?

The chief engineer.

What is going on here? Bulldozer on track...

Do you know the deadlines?

Why not extend the runway?

It was hot, Comrade Colonel. 35�C in the shade... People are not horses.

We are working.

What?

The work should be completed by tomorrow evening.

Just one more word - and I'll send you, dog, swinging the shovel.

And how old are you? - Nineteen. And you?

Sanya, when will you return the ink? - I will return it, Rizhi.

Did the commander say anything about the gunners before you?

No. He doesn't talk to me at all. And forbid me to ask questions.

Yes, our commander is not talkative.

And what happened to the shooters? - With whom?

He said there were other shooters before me.

Of course there was. - What happened to them?

They killed them, didn't they?

And here is our machine.

Lyoshka! Oxygen cylinders,

did you remove it from the supports? - Me, Comrade Captain!

And who will put them in their place? Me?

This is our navigator. Kachanov Mikhail.

Come on in!

Ah-ha.

Collect the shell casings. And wash everything well. Do you understand?

Yes, I got it, I got it...

I wish you health. - Hello, Grigoriy Zaharic.

How did you fly? - A complete mess.

The track is not extended.

Indiscretion on a full scale.

There are two days left, and no horse has passed there.

Comrade Colonel. General Zhavoronkov is on the line.

I linked it here.

So, Commissar. Build the people.

Let them know about the operation, let them get ready.

All 15 crews we talked about.

I'm listening. - Preobrazhensky?

Yes, in command.

Get ready!

What if they fail the track? - Such an option is not considered.

Ravnis. Peacefully.

Balance of the medium!

Comrade Commissar, the air group was built on your order.

Squadron Commander Baranov. - Free!

Free!

Comrades of the Red Fleet.

As of this minute, your crews are out of commission.

That means no flights until further notice.

Rest, sleep, write letters home.

And most importantly, prepare the machines for long-distance flights.

We will fly the full range of the aircraft,

Flights will mostly be at night.

Pyotr Ilyich? - Tomorrow at 8:30

I'm waiting here for all the sailors.

Did everyone get it? That is all.

They are free! - You are free!

Ant!

Your baptism of fire is postponed.

We won't fly.

I'd be happy to be you. - Ryzhakov. Shut your mouth.

What? Me nothing...

Comrade Captain, I know everything.

I've already been told that archers don't live long.

That the place is cursed.

Don't worry about me. - What?

I say don't worry. They won't kill me. I am lucky.

I'm not worried.

I needed it.

Peacefully!

Comrade Lieutenant General! Military engineer, 2nd rank Toporkov.

Free. - Free.

Report. - The task is practically completed.

The aerodrome area and personnel

accommodation for the mission are ready.

How is the disguise? - Parking spaces are equipped

near the trees, with camouflage nets.

Warehouses and armaments? - From the left of the stands,

shelters of semi-terrestrial type. Electricity is on.

A spare engine was fitted.

That's where the fuel is.

And that's bad. If the German accidentally misses, everything

can explode and go to hell.

So keep the fuel and lube separate, and when they deliver the bombs,

move them to different shelters.

I'm listening! We will do it. - Come on, show the premises.

10 people in each room.

And what is this? - Ranks.

They wanted to leave them on the street. Pity. They will get wet and dry.

We built three toilets, a wash room with 15 sinks.

We will post more if needed.

Everything is ready, Comrade General.

And this is your private room.

Give me ten minutes. Bring me the things.

I'm listening.

Nikolaych...

It is time.

Don't be afraid now.

We're just flying to another airport.

You haven't entered the bathroom yet. You just take your pants off in the locker room.

And this is strange at all, say?

They lock four young men in an iron box

and launch them into the sky to drop bombs!

I never thought I'd be doing this.

Commander, left.

They fly to Leningrad, the dogs.

Reds. Look.

Ah, you bastards!

Commander! Germans on the left. A lot!

Rizhi, let it go.

We can't reach them.

Now if I were you...

Who is the translator? - I am.

Your name? - Emma.

We need three people to clean vegetables. Translate.

Come here.

So, two ladies for water.

You and you, what's your name? - Martha.

Trofimov! Why are we sitting?

Two for wood.

It's beautiful here...

We have been waiting for the minesweepers with bombs from Kronstadt for two days now.

And time goes on.

If they don't show up by tomorrow, I'll report to the People's Commissar.

And why did you take the accordion?

Well, something like a talisman.

If only we had taken a bath now...

Ladle.

Oh thank you.

Estonians are a strange people.

Calm, quiet. They don't say an extra word.

I have only been to Ukraine. I have a grandmother there, near Kyiv.

And I'm from Gomel, Belarus.

And my grandfather and father moved to the Urals.

Oh, wasp, wasp!

Where is the translator?

Madam teacher!

Look what a girl.

I see, I see.

Quiet, quiet...

Miss, explain to them that the drinking water is in that barrel.

And this is for tea that they spill.

Do you need help? - No thank you, everything is fine.

Can I help with something else? - How can you help?

are you a teacher? - Yes.

Do you have a Russian-Estonian dictionary?

I have. - And will you give it to me, that here...

Okay. - Thank you gorgeous.

It's coming, it's coming.

Cheremis.

He wanted to come to you.

I think it's difficult to take off. Let's go through the route again.

Good catch.

Seaplane.

To hell with it, Russian.

Look, look, it's falling.

Yes, it falls.

Look, he's alive.

Grandpa, hurry!

Rizhi, do you want? From the glacier gave...

Our grandfather doesn't understand.

He himself is clean, tidy.

I told him that I am also from a village and we keep a cow.

And he keeps nodding towards the jug. So - return.

I get it, the jug is a valuable thing.

Cold, even the teeth are tingling.

You will be on duty in a row. An interval of four hours.

Clear?

Comrade Captain, do you want milk?

Comrade Captain, how are you?

Give me the first aid kit!

Ammonia!

Quick!

What happened?

You fell, Comrade Captain...

Rizhi, what are you talking about? - You fell...

Shut up. And you shut your mouth.

No one must know! clear?

Sure.

No one. - Aye.

I'm looking at a boat.

Sit down, sit down. - I thought of a fisherman. I yelled at him.

Thank God, the Estonian did not come out timid.

He helped me out of the water.

But Saburov was done... The bullet hit him right in the heart.

How's the weather?

It is densely cloudy in the Stetten region and towards Berlin.

Visibility almost zero.

Cyclone? - He is.

And it will continue for a few more days.

If the minesweepers with the bombs are delayed even one more day -

to everything else we'll add this damned cyclone.

Eh, the operation is failing.

It's bursting at the seams. Go.

Comrade General, to you in cipher.

Finally.

Comrade General. - What?

To you here from Moscow, some arrogant...

From Moscow?

Where? - On the runway. He felt sick.

Give me the cap.

Excuse me. Until I flew to you from Moscow.

I hate flying.

We were expecting you tomorrow. - Don't worry.

All authority remains with you.

And don't let the word "control" scare you. I would say it another way: "help".

Ammo supply problems?

The Minesweepers from Kronstadt have already left.

So, we will be flying soon!

It's massive here at your place. I feel, so to speak, a power�

I'm leaving, Comrade Veresov. Work is waiting.

Of course, of course. Work, Semyon Fedorovich!

For me... some corner.

Set him up. - I'm listening.

Tell me, is the sea far from here?

Yes. 10 minutes by car. Let's go.

� And besides your eyes�

And do you have a club in your village?

Madam teacher.

Do you have a club in the village?

There is a club. But now it doesn't work.

Musicians are in the army. - Pity.

The girls ask, why are you all serious and not smiling?

Sergeant! - Yes.

What is this assembly after the blackout?

Are we courting, comrades of the Red Fleet?

Come on, come on, spread out.

Tell them we're done in 5 minutes.

See you soon, girls.

International relations are over for today.

Looks like I'm no longer needed.

So. Listen carefully.

Vasily Timofeevich, dear! Hand over to the ground:

I see bombers!

They are flying to our Ivanovskoye to bomb, the bastards!

Altitude 3000, heading 175!

Load the machine gun.

We're going to bomb that bastard, Ivan Timofeevich.

Where's the rifle?

That's how you'll stand.

So true, Comrade Captain.

I that�

I didn't do it on purpose. Somehow it lit itself.

I won't do that any more, Comrade Captain.

And who are Vasily Timofeich and Ivan Timofeich?

My uncles, my mother's brothers.

They took us to war together.

Them in the infantry and me here.

Finally. - Allow.

Here are the bombs. And you were worried.

So, we'll be flying soon.

Reduce it.

Hey!

What do you do with it?

You ask strange questions, Comrade.

We fix malfunctions.

So, well, stop!

Who is senior? You?

Go on, report it. About malfunctions.

Well, there's always enough, as if he can't do without them.

The machines are old. All engines are worn out.

So... - Well speaking constructively...

There are many disadvantages. - What kind?

Well, for example...

Oil leaking from tanks. Cracks. Bad riveting.

Wait, slow down.

Damage to the pneumatic system. There is a problem with the blinds.

Slag on the pistons. Fan failure.

At high altitude, the pilot's cabin freezes.

Tail shooters have no protection whatsoever.

I can talk like this for a long time, Comrade Veresov.

Drive!

Take the next one.

My first one, pin it.

Comrade General!

Semyon Fedorovich, shall we talk?

Here is a complete set now.

I'm listening.

Will these planes of yours even make it to Berlin?

In what sense? - In the most direct.

Their engines... Their resources. Everything...

Yevgeny Nikolaevich!

The brigade commander - Colonel Preobrazhensky.

He knows more about these planes than I do.

Here, Comrade Veresov is very worried that

the engines of the planes are very worn.

That's right, Comrade Veresov. DB-3 bombers.

Not the latest, not the fastest.

But to date, it is the only machine

capable of such a difficult task.

You understand that we have to crush them like that!..

And what is this? Are these bombs?

Why are they so small? Is that what you're going to throw in Berlin?

These are FAB-100. There are also FAB-250 and 500.

We are thinking of getting 800.

Hit radius increases.

800. Eight percent. Eight hundred?

That's right! Now...

So.

Right here. A ton and a half.

Each bomber takes a ton and a half of bombs.

A ton and a half. Do you know who wrote it?

Kokkinaki.

And he knows absolutely everything about these planes.

The blow must be of such power...

And you yourself said that only these planes are capable of

accomplishing the task. Huh?

With additional fuel tanks

we can't take a ton and a half of bombs.

And Kokkinaki thinks we can.

Who should I trust?

To the Meritorious Examiner, Hero of the Soviet Union or...

After all� do we have time?

We're waiting for the weather, aren't we? - For now, we're waiting.

Let's invite here... Comrade Kokkinaki.

Girls, a plane!

Look what an eagle flew to us!

He is so serious!

He will notice you and fall in love!

Hello beauties!

Hello. - It's hot here at your place.

Can I have some water? - Give me water.

"Ankeve".

Please.

And here is the leadership. Thank you.

Let's go, let's go.

Vadim Konstantinich, I wish you well! Sorry for not welcoming you.

We didn't think you'd fly in so quickly.

You have beautiful girls here. - Oh, it's useless.

They don't understand anything in Russian. - Ankeve!

It's Kokkinaki! Kokkinaki!

Girls, did you see? Kokkinaki.

I do not understand. - Kokkinaki, understand?

Kok-ki-naki.

Kok-ki-naki.

On these machines, Comrade Colonel, I lifted two and a half tons.

And you, because of some extra 100 kg, are shaking like an aspen...

DB-3 is an excellent machine, reliable.

Yes, a little outdated, but this is no reason to reduce the bomb

load, to a meagre 800 kilograms.

The purpose of the airstrike is not only to frighten, but also

to inflict maximum damage on important strategic objects of the city.

Or am I wrong, Comrade Colonel?

I beg your pardon, Comrade Kokkinaki...

But what damage can we talk about if, due to overloading, the planes

do not reach the target at all?

What the hell are we theorising about here?

We will check! Hang a ton.

A ton and a half.

So-so... To you...

Peacefully!

Free! - Free!

What have you collected?

Risk weight, Comrade Colonel. You may not succeed.

And who will be able to? You?

Comrade Colonel, the bombs are in place.

The tanks are full. The additional ones are also suspended.

More than two tones are obtained.

I have doubts about the engines.

In places!

Comrade Captain, the superiors ordered not to start without him.

Hold on! Stop, I tell you!

The commander said not to start without him.

And where is he?

Semyon Fedorovich!

The guide just is!

We are ready for the trials.

What? - We are ready for the tests.

Now here we come!

Germans!

Your mummy!

We waited! - Do you think they noticed us?

We'll find out soon.

Comrade General, the plane is ready for take off.

Regimental Commissar Oganezov.

Yevgeny Nikolaevich, how are you?

Come on, let's go!

"From the screw!"

Navigator, the starboard engine has overheated.

Your mum!

The left too!

We're turning left onto the runway!

Chassis!

It's falling.

Yes, with such engines, we will not lift this load.

Nikolaych! Are you alive?

The tanks will explode!

Back! - Back everyone! Lie down!

Yes, but understand, there everyone wants maximum load on each board.

How will they know about worn engines?

Kokkinaki is not a first-timer in aviation.

And what? The Supreme called him. He asked him how much he could carry.

And what to answer? After lifting these 1.5 tons.

I still don't understand, Comrade Commander.

We shut down the machine, almost killing people.

Why are these experiments? - If you don't try, you won't understand.

Martha, what's the matter?

Teacher, come out, please.

Hello. - Hello.

Sorry for being so late...

We saw that it was on... I thought you weren't sleeping.

My name is Andrei. Marta and I met here...

Not today of course... Yesterday. And we�

Well, I talk to her, but she doesn't understand anything.

He pretends to understand Mulchy, nods and smiles�

And I tell her very important, serious things...

I'm in the military and they can move me tomorrow.

Will you translate my words for her?

Yes. - Thank you.

Martha, I�

I didn't know any Estonian girl until now.

And I did not think that all Estonian women are so cheerful,

beautiful. An honest word.

And you, Marta, are special and�

I've only known you for two days,

and the second day I can't sleep...

Now the most important thing.

When the war is over, I will come here to you.

And I will take you with me, in Khabarovsk.

If, of course, you want.

She likes you too.

Thanks a lot.

So what?

I'm going?

Go.

Curse!

Come here! Faster! Faster!

Here you have a ton and a half.

South of this parallel, the cloudiness is layered cumulus, from 3-5 points.

At the lower end 1600 metres and up to 3000 metres...

Thanks. ... light rain, 4-5 km visibility.

And further on, it thickens and reaches 9 points.

Cyclone. - And how is it over Berlin?

Visibility is good in the Berlin area.

In general, the weather is complicated, but it can be flown.

At an altitude above 1400 metres, slight icing is possible.

The wind direction changes to the north.

Can we bypass the cyclone from the north?

If it doesn't grow. - Thank you, you're free.

If it grows and we go around, we won't have enough fuel.

Yesterday's German raid called into

question the secrecy of our operation.

We can't delay any longer.

Today at 21:00 we let the crews go to Berlin.

Wait.

So.

Loads! Take the next one.

Give loads.

Free! - Free!

Comrades of the Red Fleet! Congratulations.

You had the great honour of responding

to the barbaric bombing of the Germans

over Moscow, Leningrad and other Soviet cities.

Today at 21:00 you take off for move-in

of the first bombing of military sites

and government offices of the capital of the Fascist Reich.

Let's cover up the German bastards!

Let's hit Berlin.

Hooray!

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

Come on.

Nikolaych!

When you're done...

or if you know it's the end...

...let us know on air.

Clear!

Flight height above the target - 7000 metres.

We turn over the city on my signal

with lights - triple press.

Return to Kagul - independently.

Distance to the target 950 kilometres.

Refuelling under the plug.

Maintain complete radio silence during flight.

Aviation lights and searchlights must not be used!

It is possible to lose each other in the darkness.

In that case, to the goal, we fly alone.

Come on, Nikolaych!

According to intelligence, Berlin is surrounded

of two air defence rings.

The first: 160 kilometres from Berlin.

The second: in different places from 35 to 50 kilometres.

The light of the searchlights reaches 6000 metres.

And of course, the fighters.

So get ready for dogfight.

Flag navigator Khokhlov, you have the floor.

The stormtroopers have their maps and equipment checked.

Objectives and routes are plotted. Wind range accounted for.

In case of loss of orientation, a complex course of 55 degrees is observed.

Come on son!

Hit them!

Comrades! I consider it necessary to recall the importance of today's operation.

In this difficult time for the country,

when the enemy treads our ground, we...

Comrade Veresov!

Success!

It's okay.

Course 300, to route origin.

Overboard - 20, in the cabin - 18.

Navigator!

Online!

They say that with that teacher who was bombed

have you had shushu-mushu?

Lieutenant?

On line!

So, are they lying or?

Cheremis!

They don't lie.

Sweden. The island of Gotland.

There is no war with these.

They are napping.

Happy.

It seems our weather god was not wrong.

Tightens tightly.

This is Atlantica.

Beautiful pillows. Nasty!

Nikolaych, we will not detour. The fuel won't make it.

Nothing, we'll slip through the gaps.

Understood. I'll see where it's brighter.

We decided to go through the cyclone.

Prepare the oxygen masks.

Buckle up shooters.

Put on your mask!

Hold on tight!

You will kill or maim yourself!

Rizhi, what's going on there?

The new one broke his nose. And that's okay.

Commander, icing.

Commander, I repeat, icing! how can you hear me

Commander!

Venya!

Venya!

Can you hear me, Venya?

Commander, we're falling! - He doesn't hear, he doesn't hear anything!

He doesn't hear us.

Come on!

Comrade General, telegram from front headquarters.

Come on.

The cyclone has intensified.

Now it is right in front of their course.

Comrade in command? Maybe some tea?

Tea.

Navigator. Our place?

Commander, we're going right.

Sweden is on the right, Poland on the left. We passed over Bornholm.

What about the others? It's not clear.

Maybe we should ask on the radio anyway?

Leave it. We can't - radio silence.

Oh, three out! I don't see others.

Increase oxygen. We rise!

A fighter jet right over us!

How did it end up here? - We shook him...

There is an aerodrome on the left. We ran into security!

Commander, he turns.

Prepare for battle.

Sagittarius Rizhakov is ready for battle!

Sagittarius Murashov is ready for battle!

I see it. It comes from the left, from the tail.

Mine... It's mine!

It went down. It's yours! Do you see it?

Yes!

It's burning! Get it done newbie!

Young man!

Well done, boy.

You will write to your uncles about how you took down your first German.

Commander, let's go to 6000. They must have spotted us.

Crew, prepare to gain altitude!

Right below us is the Szczecin Lagoon.

Course 140.

Congratulations Crew.

We are over Germany.

Berlin is 130 kilometres away.

We'll be there in 25 minutes.

So what?

Silence? - Silence, Comrade in Command.

Sure.

Silence.

Silence is good.

I see four machines!

On top! 20 degrees to the right!

They are ours.

Nikolaych, we passed through the first air defence ring.

Berlin is 50 kilometres away.

They noticed us! - Quiet, quiet...

Did they accept us as their own?

6000 metres.

Even the devil himself would not understand here.

Well done boys, you didn't panic.

Commander...

I see Berlin.

Berlin!

Navigator, can you see the power plant?

Five degrees to the right.

Accepted.

Commander, we're over the target.

Get ready to drop the bombs.

On target!

Accepted.

Hold presents you bastards.

They were sent from Moscow itself. Eat now! It is your turn!

Commander, I released them! All eight went!

Commander, course 215.

Another degree.

Ready. On target.

Come on, Petya.

Yes.

Cheremis, what happened to the power plant?

Course 210. Speed ??350.

Ready.

Shooters to prepare to drop the leaflets.

They stopped shooting. Now the most interesting part begins.

Commander. I see fighter jets.

Damn the fighters.

Archers ready for battle!

Sagittarius Murashov ready for battle!

Sagittarius Ryzhakov ready for battle!

Hand over to the ground:

"I'm over Berlin. Mission accomplished. I'm coming back".

Commander, radio silence?

What if we don't come back?

Comrade commander!

What?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

You're back! You're all back.

From 8 August to 5 September 1941

Soviet pilots made 9 raids over Berlin.

They dropped over 21 tons of bombs, causing

more than 30 outbreaks of fires.

As a result of the retreat of Soviet troops from Tallinn

and the Moonsund Archipelago, flights to Berlin

from the island of Saarem�� are discontinued.

The bombing of Berlin, K�nigsberg, Stettin and other cities

of Nazi Germany in August 1941 were an absolute shock to the fascists

and exert maximum moral-psychological and political effect.

The myth of the invincible German-fascist armada and

the total destruction of the Soviet aviation was destroyed.

In the soul of every Soviet soldier, from private to general

faith in his people and an unquenchable will to win was strengthened.

Until it... the long-awaited Great Victory was still a long way off...

In memory of the heroic pilots of the 1st mine-torpedo aviation regiment

of the Air Force from the Baltic Fleet.
