“…Manfred’s victory curve is rising steeply. I am experiencing all of this, but – how could it be otherwise! – there is also enough anxiety and worry in my thoughts. I know only too well how often the death of the fighter pilot is the last pilot. Nevertheless, my heart beats faster every time another of Manfred’s victories appears on the roll of honour. On 8 March it was the twenty-fifth, and I couldn’t sleep for excitement as I only received the telegram at half past ten in the evening.”
