“12.2. Pilots from Jasta 11 getting ready for take off at 21 april of 1918. From left to right: Wolfram, Scholtz, Karjus, Wolff, Lübbert, Richtofen, Löwenhardt, Steinhauser and Weiss. After a lots of deaths being produced that could have been avoided with the use of the Parachute, the controls of both sides decided to amply it’s use since 1918. In this photo we can check that Wolff and Steinhauser were wearing their parachute harnesses”
Well shit, official information says that manfred was wearing his parachute on his last flight (also he was wearing pajamas under his uniform, lol)
"Der Heiligenschein des Ergebenen" An older piece I dug up and decided to upload here as well. It's a more story-heavy piece as it depicts a scene from a story I've been working on and off for several years now. War and it's people fascinated and frightened me since I was little. My family came from all sorts of places, including Germany and Poland, making the era of WW2 so much more personal for myself and them. This scene depicts Jonas, my WW2 pilot character, who decided to flee from Germany at the later period of the ongoing war. He crashlanded in England and was captured, turning himself in essentially, to free himself from the grasp that tortured the country for so long. Working with such heavy topics is another way to work through your families and countries history, exploring what happened and understanding the people from times long ago to a certain extend.
