Event Narrative
‘Then one day a telegram arrived: ’Lieutenant v. R. appointed leader of Jagdstaffel 11." I have to say, I was annoyed. I had worked so well with my comrades in Jagdstaffel Boelcke. Now starting all over again, settling in, etc. was boring. Besides, I would have preferred the Pour le mérite."
