The photos are grouped according to the theater of war:

Northern Front - 2;
Northwestern Front - 8;
Western Front - 14;

Deciphering many places in the pictures, and based on them Soviet air units, was made possible through collaboration with Mikhail Timin from Moscow (Russia). Misha is undisputed in this area and a renowned expert.


The description of one of the photos:

"Stanislaviv's Hangar at the airport, where was the 12. IAP of the 12. IAD of 64. Army. Regiment had I-153 Chaika, I-16 and already withdrawn 9-12 I-15bis (used to make up for losses in the 247.

The book is about the first day of the air war in the east - June 22, 1941. The Nazi Luftwaffe led to the rout of the border of the Air Force RKKA. Stalin had set his "red hawks" in airfields, next to the western border of the USSR, from May 1941.

Violent attack from the air and on land (Blitzkrieg) caused a hellish turmoil. Especially in the main lines of attack Germans on Northwest Front and the West Front (ie. Western Belarus).

Small, early destruction of the Soviet air regiments standing among near Liepaja, Riga, Siauliai, Kaunas, Vilnius, Grodno, Białegostok, Lida, Brest, Lutsk, Dubno, Lviv, Stryj, Tarnopol, Stanislaviv, Chernivtsi caused great confusion among the Russians. Their hysterical reinforcing patches of quick raids Hitler's panzer divisions.

As a result of rapid breaking the chain of command communication a lot of panic seized the Soviet border. To the complete disappearance above the Russians heads their "hawks" caused a gigantic, chaotic and hasty escape on the ground, away from the deadly Luftwaffe bombs. It multiplied the small successes of the Germans.

Rapid loss by the Russians own air shield, the first day of battles, led to a massive pogrom troops at borders. In many places, there was a mass defection from the front. German giant success later completed the liquidation of large encirclements, among others, near Bialystok, Minsk, Smolensk, Kiev, Wiazma, Briansk was crowned the winner June 22, 1941.

About how Germans quickly won the battle in the air that day, says book.
