Event Narrative

"Dear Mum! What did you say about Immelmann's death? In the long run, everyone believes in it – even Boelcke. The commander of Lothar's fighter squadron also didn't return from a bombing mission. The day before, the commander of my old K. G. 1, formerly B. A. O., was also shot down. He was Freiherr von Gerstorff, probably the most capable commander a fighter squadron ever had. I always liked him."
