“On Wednesday, 18 November, after ten o’clock in the evening, the train arrived in Berlin. A ceremonial reception was held at Potsdam railway station, attended by representatives of the Ring der Flieger and the Traditionskompanie. Members of the 1st Uhlan Regiment, in which Manfred had served, carried the coffin to the hearse, which took it to the Gnadenkirche in Invalidenstraße. A huge crowd had gathered on Potsdamer Platz, which had been cordoned off by the police, and allowed the funeral procession to pass in silence and with bare heads.”
