Ereigniserzählung

Da kommt eines Tages das Telegramm: »Leutnant v. R. zum Führer der Jagdstaffel 11 ernannt.« Ich muß sagen, ich habe mich geärgert. Man hatte sich so schön mit den Kameraden der Jagdstaffel Boelcke eingearbeitet. Nun wieder ganz von neuem anzufangen, das Einleben usw. war langweilig. Außerdem wäre mir der Pour le mérite lieber gewesen.
