Wüsthoff relieved of Jasta 4 command

"The following day, Richthofen made another preparation when he relieved Leutnant Kurt Wüsthoff of command of Jasta 4. Wüsthoff a 27-victory ace and Pour Le Mérite recipient, was transferred to the Geschwader staff. According to his successor, Leutnant Georg von der Osten: "Leutnant Wüsthoff was a most dashing and successful fighter pilot. For this reason he had been assigned to command Jasta 4 by Richthofen, at the age of 19!... I heard that they did not like him very much there. He was...very much younger than all of his pilots, and he had a very cheaky way. Apart from being a very sympathetic man, he reported victories that he did not always check. So Richthofen relieved him as Staffel leader.""
