Quote:
I started with 30 planes of my Geschwader and flew to the Front, commanding all three Staffeln at 5,300 metres. Just as we were approaching the Front, I saw several English squadrons crossing our lines and flying in the direction of Le Cateau. The first squadron we came across was approximately at 5,500 metres altitude, and together with Leutnant Gussmann, Jasta 11, I shot down the last oponent, a Bristol Fighter. He lost his wings, and Leutnant Gussmann brought him down.

Thereupon, I took my 30 planes in hand, climbed to 5,300 metres and pursued two enemy squadrons which had made their way right through to Le Cateau. I attacked just when the enemy tried to fly aside and retreat. The enemy machine flying nearet to me, apparently a Bréguet or a Bristo Fighter, was fired upon my me and Leutnant Löwenhardt of Jasta 10. The tank was shot to pieces and I observed how the aircraft crashed straight down. Leutnant Löwenhardt had brought it down.

Then I attacked from the centre of two English one-seater squadrons a plane flying pennants, and forced it to land near Molain."
