In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the aerial combat that took place over Viipuri and the Karelian Isthmus during the early months of the Continuation War in 1941. They focus on the Finnish Air Force's use of the Fokker D.XXI fighter, a pre-war Dutch design that faced overwhelming Soviet air power. The conversation highlights the exploits of ace pilot Hans Wind, who scored his first victories during this period, and the strategic role of the Lentolaivue 32 squadron. Lucas explains how Finnish pilots, despite obsolete aircraft, adapted tactics like the 'sissi' guerrilla-style hit-and-run attacks to disrupt Soviet bomber formations. The episode also covers the Soviet Air Force's bombing campaign against Viipuri's railway junctions and civilian infrastructure, and how Finnish anti-aircraft defenses—including the captured Maxim M/32-33 machine guns—helped protect the city. Listeners will learn about the little-known 1941 air raid on Viipuri Castle, a medieval landmark that became a target, and the aftermath that saw the city heavily damaged but never fully occupied. This discussion sheds light on a crucial theater of the Continuation War that is often overshadowed by ground battles. #Finland #ContinuationWar #Viipuri #FinnishAirForce #HansWind #FokkerDXXI #Lentolaivue32 #SovietAirForce #WinterWar #KarelianIsthmus #SissiTactics #AntiAircraft #ViipuriCastle #1941 #WW2History #AviationHistory #FexingoHistory #NorthernEurope Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
