Hey guys… It`s me again. I know, i should actually work on "Wingmen" but this idea popped into my head last week and i had to write it to get it out of my head.

Anyways, this story is based on real events in world war two. I have replaced the historical figures with the httyd gang though. Also the story will significantly differ from the historical events at some points.

With this story I want to honor all those soldiers, who died in world war two to defend their homes from the Nazi regime, allied forces as well as Wehrmacht deserters.

The roles of following persons have been swapped:

-Friedrich "Fred" Mayer (Born in Freiburg, Germany. He and his jewish family left Germany in 1938) - Hiccup

-Hans Wijnberg (Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands. His family sent him and his twin Louis to America, one year before the beginning of the war.) - Hookfang

-Franz Weber (Born in Oberperfuss*, Austria. Joined the Wehrmacht and became an officer [133. Infantry regiment, 45 Infantry division]. He witnessed the cruel treatment of Jews in Poland and after his unit was deployed to Italy in 1944, he took his chance and deserted.) - Toothless

Disclaimer: I do NOT own ANY of the characters used in this story.

OoOoO

It was in the middle of the night, and I could barely see a thing on the ground below me, left alone the landing zone. The thick cloud cover wasn´t helping either. As I broke through a particularly thick layer I was suddenly met with the sight of a steep mountain side just a few hundred feet beneath me. I hastily grabbed the piece of string that would open the parachute and suddenly I got rapidly slowed down as the big chute opened up above me.

I glided down slowly and finally my feet touched the snow-covered ground of the mountain side. I got rid of the big bag on my back that had held the parachute and began to search my surroundings for any sign of my two friends, who jumped right after me.

The plan was to jump out of the plane in the cover of the night, descend to the ground, regroup, pick up the supplies and make our way to Toothless family in Oberperfuss. Afterwards we should were to collect information to bomb a railroad track to Italy, where tanks and weapons were transported to Italy. Further we had to find out more about the planed stronghold in the Alps. It was a suicide mission, we all knew it when I suggested the plan at the head quarter back in Bari, but we were determined to go through with it.

The first part was done, now I just had to find my two companions and the supplies in the middle of the night in a snowstorm on a glacier in the Alps. What could possibly go wrong?

It wasn´t long before I started walking, when I heard a voice calling out my name. When looked in the direction I could see the silhouettes of two people, one bent over a large box on the ground, the other frantically waving his hand. I made my way over to them and was greeted by the sight of Toothless and Hookfang rummaging through the box of necessary supplies.

"The skis aren´t here", Hookfang suddenly said and Toothless and I both looked at him in shock. If the skis were gone, how were we supposed to reach the foot of the mountain in one piece?

"I think I saw the lights of a house, a little way down the mountainside. I don´t know if they have any possibility of getting us down, but I believe it´s worth a try", Toothless told us with his thick German accent. I nodded, we all spoke German fluently and were thus far easily able to give ourselves out as german Gebirgsjäger.

Hookfang took the radio and we began to climb down the mountainside. The house was more like a log cabin with dirty windows. When we got closer, a man came bursting out of the door, a small handgun at the ready. He yelled at us: "Wer seid ihr?! Was wollt ihr?!" [Who are you? What do you want?]

"Wir sind Gebirgsjäger…Wir haben uns verirrt! Wissen Sie wie wir von dem Berg runterkommen?!" [We are Gebirgsjäger…We are lost! Do you know how to get down from the mountain?] Toothless yelled back in perfect German and the man lowered his weapon. He pointed to a single sleigh, leant against the wall of the cabin. "Ihr könnt die hier nehmen. Wenn ihr unten ankommt lasst sie einfach an der Strasse stehen." [You can take this. When you´re at the bottom, just put it on the side of the street.]

"Danke." [Thank you.] And with that we took the sleight and mounted it. We had barely enough space to get on and were really scared to go down the mountainside by sleight, but we knew we had to make it to Oberperfuss before sunrise, otherwise we could bump into real Gebirgsjäger and none of us wanted to take the risk.

The ride was like going through hell. We raced down the mountainside with extreme speed and could barely avoid crashing into obstacles such as bushes or heaps of snow. When we finally reached a street, I let out a sigh of relief and dismounted the sleight.

Toothless put it on the side of the road and motioned for us to follow him. We hadn´t walked far as a small town came into view. We hurried to the outskirts of the village and hid in the shadows of the houses. Everything around us was quiet. Slowly we made our way along the dark streets, following Toothless to a relatively small house.

There was light in a single window and we could hear distant voices as Toothless softly knocked on the door.

The voices fell silent and we heard light footsteps coming closer to the door. I hastily looked around for any suspicious movement as the door was opened a crack and the face of an elderly woman appeared in it. Upon seeing Toothless she opened the door fully and threw her arms around him, holding him tight. Toothless returned the embrace and as she let go of him, her eyes fell on Hookfang and me, crouched low on the wall of the building on the opposite side of the street.

With a small smile she motioned for us to come inside and we hurried across the street and into the warmth of the house. She led us to the living room and sat down on a couch, right beneath a younger woman about our age. The younger one jumped up and hugged Toothless too. He smiled and pointed at them. "That's my fiancé Anni and her mother."

After a brief introduction, Anni´s mother told us, that a friend of her was willing to hide us in his attic, in case someone would come looking for us. Although we were sure that no one had seen us when we sneaked into the village, we were happy to have a safe place to hide. We bid Anni and her mother goodbye and followed Toothless to a larger house where an rather old man opened the door and led us up into his attic.

That night our first message was sent to Bari:

"All well. Patience until March 13th. Hookfang."

OoOoO

*Oberperfuss: Some of you might know it as "Oberpfuss", which is a mistake in the translation of an article in a magazine. Just so you don´t get confused…

So… this was the first chapter. Tell if you liked it or not and if should continue this. Also the next chapter for "Wingmen" will be uploaded soon.

I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter.
