“There is only one newspaper. It says that we are at war with America. I pick up the paper lying on my deck bed and read it again. Here! The enemy air force has launched a major systematic attack. But it was well received by our airmen. The enemy have lost forty-four aeroplanes… Entire squadrons are said to have been destroyed. Lieutenants Voss and Berthold are mentioned in the newspaper as victorious… But what is that? – ‘Five of our airmen have not returned…’ Why is Manfred not mentioned?”
