“I am pleased that Manfred and Lothar see each other from time to time and stay in touch by phone. Lothar never forgets to tell me about such moments. Le Chatelet, 8 May 1916: “Manfred visited me for an hour. It was very nice to see each other again here in the field. A few days later he shot down a Frenchman. Unfortunately, I have not yet succeeded in doing so, although I have already had a few aerial battles behind me. Once I rescued one of our aeroplanes from the clutches of two Frenchmen. The observer, a Leutnant v. Schwerin from my squadron, was mortally wounded and could no longer defend himself. Unfortunately, he died afterwards. The guide was only slightly wounded. I see the drumfire at the Dead Man every other day.”
