Event Narrative
I'm sitting in the large garden room, organising the letters Manfred wrote. So much has happened in these weeks. Manfred shot his second Englishman on 23 September and the third on 30 September. His letter, dated 5 October, makes the following omission: ‘Your heart beats a little faster when the enemy, whose face you have just seen, plummets burning from 4000 metres into the depths.’
