The entire history of the Vaiņode airfieldSomething fell out of the airplanes. I thought that it might be candy for the aviation festival. I left the cows and ran to get some candy, but the cargo parachutes didn’t open. I stopped after 50 metres. There were great explosions, the earth rose into the sky. It was a German bombardment. They bombed the airfield, turned around over the Kalši swamp, and left.
