‘First Lieutenant Kurt Wolff, the ‘little wolf’, was killed in action after 34 aerial victories… …How attached he was to Manfred. How nice they had been together in the field hospital 76 in Kortryk. Manfred with the skull wound, Kurt Wolff with his left wrist shot through. They had listened to the thunder at the front, which made the windows shake and awakened their longing. The gallows humour had helped the two winged Pour-le-mériters, held against their will, to get through these hours.’
