    “About 10 days ago…he received a powerful ricochet to the back of his head – he just managed to land and grumble a few words, then lost consciousness. Now he’s sitting in the hospital in Courtrai with a massive bandage around his skull and is already quite cheerful, which is to say – he primarily complains about his bad luck in that this had to happen to him just as he was getting ready to get going with the new Geschwader. (Briefe eines Deutches Kampffliegers an ein junges Mädchen, pp 128-129).”
