A humorous poem about the adventures of two German aviators.
The author, Roland Betsch, was born in Pirmasens in 1888, the son of a railway administrator. He studied at the Technical University of Munich and graduated as an engineer in 1913. During his studies in Munich he joined the Germania Corps, of which he remained a member throughout his life. He then became an assistant at the University of Breslau.
He lived through the First World War in an air force unit, where he was assigned to the Fokker works as "chief air force engineer". After the end of the war he worked as a freelance writer. Betsch headed the Westmark Association of the Kampfbund für deutsche Kultur, an organisation close to the NSDAP. At times, Betsch suffered from depression, which made him unsociable and tortured him with fear of the future. It was during one of these crises that he committed suicide with his wife at the end of the war in April 1945. In the Soviet occupation zone, his works Abwehr und Heimkehr (1940) and Regieexpress D 21 (1944) were placed on the list of literature to be destroyed.
