‘The next day I was invited to lunch with Her Majesty and travelled to Homburg for this purpose. There I had breakfast with Her Majesty, was also presented with a birthday present, and I had the great pleasure of performing a take-off for Her Majesty. In the evening I was once again invited by Field Marshal General v. Hindenburg.’
