Historical Background:

The Luftwaffe, the German air force formed in 1935, played a key role in the military operations of World War II. Along with the technical development of machines such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 or the Junkers Ju 87, personnel were expanded, including specialized ground crews responsible for preparing aircraft for flight. Romania, an ally of Germany on the Eastern Front, also had a developed military aviation (Aeronautica Regală Română), which operated side-by-side with German units, often using similar equipment and operating procedures. Ground personnel were a crucial element of the war machine, working in difficult field conditions to maintain the serviceability of combat machines.
