“I am very happy about Lothar’s health. However, under no circumstances should he be allowed to return to the front until he is physically back to full strength. Otherwise, he will immediately collapse here or be shot down. I know this best from my own experience. I have only made two enemy flights, both of which were successful, but I was completely exhausted after each flight. I almost felt sick on my first flight. My wound is healing terribly slowly; it is still as big as a five-mark coin. Yesterday they removed another piece of bone; I think it will be the last. Some time ago, the Kaiser was here for a troop review, and he talked to me at length. I’m coming home on leave soon and am very much looking forward to seeing you all.”
