Irisdina Bernhard

Nationality: East German Affiliation: Nationale Volksarmee (666th TSF Squadron Schwarzesmarken) Rank: Captain TSF: MiG-21PF Balalaika

Commander of the ‘East Germany’s Strongest’, the 666th TSF Squadron Schwarzesmarken, and Jürgen Bernhard's beloved younger sister. The Captain made her name known and infamous during Operation Palaiologos, became known as a hero during the Poland retreat, and later gained fame across Europe with her Schwarzesmarken squadron.

Her command and development of the 666th make her one of the few capable of carrying out Laserjagd, typically considered "suicide" missions in strategic doctrine Jürgen created and Irisdina perfected, taking it to new heights.

Growing up, the kind-hearted Iris was virtually unmatched as the top student, until she met Beatrix Brehme. The two became best friends, national level synchronized divers and later the top 2 graduates at the TSF academy, and remain connected in many ways as East Germany’s best pilots.
