Five Hurricane and two P-40 fighter planes took off from the military base in Chupa, Karelian Republic to fly a mission. WWII was well underway, the Germans were closing in as most of Eastern Europe was looking east to Soviet Russia to help defeat the aggressor. One of the Hurricanes was piloted by 22 year old sergeant Boris Aleksandrovich Lazarev of the 760th IAP.
Soviet planes were encountered near the area of Polyarnyi Krug railway station by a squad of five Bf109G fighters lead by German pilot Oberfeldwebel Rudolf Muller. Sergeant Boris Aleksandrovich Lazarev shot one of the German planes down but was subsequently hit himself crushing down into a swamp below.
During the fight, German pilot Oberfeldwebel Rudolf Muller shot down two Russian planes, including the one piloted by Boris Aleksandrovich Lazarev. Muller’s plane was shot down too, but he survived, was captured and taken to a Soviet POW camp where he was held captive until October, 21st 1943 when he was shot dead during an attempt to escape.
It appears that Boris Aleksandrovich Lazarev attempted to jump from the falling plane but was too low and didn’t have enough time to unfasten his belts. His hurricane crashed into a swamp, killing the pilot by smashing him against the dashboard. He was only 22 years old. His body was buried in the town not far from the crash.
