I flew out of the battleship Altenburg as a part of military group, commanded by Admiral of Rheinland Military fleet, it was for me a great honor. Our group consisted of 6 fighters Wraith under control pilots : Adm.Driedrik Sterr , Kpt.Liam Engel , Ge.Sam Hauser , Fl.Hans von Brandt , Second Rheinland Military Pilot with callsign «Fegelein» and Me , Johann von Kruspe . Our goal included intelligence of enemy territory in anticipation of large-scale operation.
We were already near the trade lane, but on our radar appeared RHA ships. There were 6 ships under control pilots: Viking 3, Bjoern Mannelig, Solrunn Sparre, Karl Wernher, Jakob von Styk and Otto Mayer. The numerical advantage did not have anybody. We were equal. We stopped our ships, Hessians did the same. Silence followed.
One of the Hessians began a dialogue with our great Admiral. From the dialogue implied that they had already fought. However long their dialogue did not last for. Our Admiral commanded "to kill them! Attack!" and immediately have a goal, perhaps it was the head of the Hessians group. We rushed to the attack on the Hessians. With such a commander like us, it was not terrible.
Unfortunately, I can not say exactly who died first, what goal then have Admiral later and all that, but maybe something will become clear from the records of our negotiations.
We blew Hessians Ships focused fire, but we were losing our fighters too. At some point it seemed that the Hessians win . It seemed to me then when appeared from behind Hessian fighter and began to shoot a lots of missiles. I do not have time to shoot blende, and dodge. After the first rocket direct hit systems of my ship denied , and
the second rocket exploded my fighter.
I thought this would be my end, if the RM will lose this battle, but the last two surviving pilots – Adm.Driedrik Sterr and «Fegelein» showed space combat skill and destroy the remaining Hessians ships.
When the battle ended, Herr Admiral took all escape pods of RM pilots on his ship and we went to battleship Altenburg . In this battle we lost only our fighters , but none of pilot was killed. We won Hessians!
