“On 27 April, Hauptmann Reinhard is officially recognised as commander of Jagdgeschwader I. Richthofen’s last wish is thus fulfilled. And as if this gap had been closed, the thunderclap of Richthofen’s death echoes across the front lines, and English planes reappear sporadically. They roar back and forth at low altitude beyond the front, climb high, disappear into the clouds and do not return.”
