Q: Tell about your first meeting with Krupinski. I have heard his version from Walter, but I would like your version.
A: I was being addressed by Hrabak when a fighter came in smoking, and suddenly landed, flipped over and exploded. We were sure the pilot was dead. One of the men said that ‘it is Krupinski’, and out of the blinding smoke this man walked out of the wreckage with a burned uniform, but no other damage. He was smiling and complained about the flak over the Caucasus, but without any real surprise on his face. This was my first meeting with “The Count.”
