"Chatterboxes... They're used to saying: "The German is a coward, the German is afraid of a head-on attack, he'll definitely turn away!" But mine didn't turn away. So much so that... my wings flew off: one to the left, other to the right. I came to on the ground... the "Yak" was burning out, and there is ... the cherry tree in blossom in front of my eyes."
