Context: Towards the tail end of WW2, the Luftwaffe created a task force called the Sonderkommando Elbe to slow down the Allies’ bombing. They did so by replacing the rotors on their planes with those made of steel and ramming bombers in critical locations. However, unlike the Kamikaze pilots who were expected to die, the Sonderkommando Elbe pilots were trained to bail before or after ramming their targets so that they could fly again.
