Hi, Jim
Thanks for all the details. You must be right there - anything else wouldn't make sense really.
Now, Schobinger didn't directly say, he walked west. Schobinger worked on the book with the
author, Michael Schmeelke (there's even a photo of both men, taken in 1986. Schobinger died
three years later). And in the book is this photograph, that you show above. The text next to it
reads: Aerial photograph of Roucourt castle; the airfield of Jasta 12 was left of the bordering
forrest in the upper picture part.
I can only assume, that some things have been exchanged between the two men via telephone,
and that Schobinger thought, they talk about the airfield location in relationship to the forrest as
seen from the airfield, looking towards the castle.
Jim, if you want that book, I can try to get it for you. You could pay book and shipping via PayPal,
if you use it, as I do. Send me a PM, if you want me to care for that. Thanks again for all.
