The operational deployment of the Slovak Air Force in the territory of the occupied USSR in 1941-1943 belongs to the most sought-after chapters in the military history of Slovakia. The quality of the outputs after November 1989, when the subject matter began to be realistically investigated and its results publicly published, was helped not only by written archival documents and other forms of records of permanent documentary value created by the activities of the central military authorities, military commands and military units, institutions and facilities of the Slovak Army in 1939-1945 professionally managed in specialized Slovak and Czech archives, direct testimonies of the participants of the operational deployment of the Slovak Air Force in the territory of the occupied USSR and their surviving contemporary documents, as well as the content of documents of German military provenance located in the Federal Archive - Military Archive in Freiburg (Federal Republic of Germany), containing valuable information about the Slovak Air Force in the years of the World War 2. One of the valuable sources, which sheds light on the operational deployment of the Slovak Air Force on the Eastern Front in the first half of 1943, is also a hitherto unpublished report of the head of the German Air Mission in Slovakia, Lt. Gen. Ludwig Keipre presenting the course and results of his mission to the headquarters of the German Air Fleet 4 and to the Slovak air units deployed on the Eastern Front, carried out between 28 May 1943 and 7 June 1943. The report was addressed to the Minister of National Defence, 1st Class General Ferdinand Čatloš, and offers a contemporary German account of the participation of the Slovak Air Force on the Eastern Front, as well as a plan to increase the number of air force and anti-aircraft artillery units. The document is published according to the established rules for the publication of sources on more recent history. It is published in full in German and in its original translation in Slovak.
