Schwartzenkatzen

This is a scene from late in the Second World War, when the German Luftwaffe was sending up all sorts of strange experimental aircraft in the dying months of the war. Here is Jadglieutenant Werner Heifetz, formerly of the Hot Air Balloon and Goethe Appreciation society, being urged aboard for the maiden flight of the "Geschwindeschwartzenkatzen" experimental jet fighter.

Making all this stuff up saves on research time. Unfortunately, checking later after I drew this, his flying suit looks more British than German, and his parachute is way too small. Well, that's what they were doing late in the war, poor guy.
