Guten tag, high command,
this is Oberfeldwebel Guntram Koehler reporting.
Today, 12th of September, I was called by Leutnant Hans Putzkammer for a possible raid on the Texas system. Soon after the rest of the pilots and I lost contact of Putzkammer and realised we have a flieger, Joseph Porta, in Texas in need of assistance. After waiting 5 minutes and instructing the flieger to stay out of the libertonian's scanners I realised that oberfeldwebel Wenzel Kreuzchen, flieger Rheinhart Weiss and I were the only Rheinwehr that were deployed at the moment.
Suddenly we started loosing Joseph Porta's signal and I felt that it was our duty to get the fleiger back to safety. Herr Kreuzchen and herr Weiss formed a wing with me and we quickly rushed to Texas, via Bering. Once we arrived to Texas we moved away from the Lanes to avoid detection. Porta's signal was getting weaker and weaking so we weren't able to get any coordinates and we quickly made a search pattern to find him.
After another 10 minutes I found him in the middle of a radiation field near a piece of debris that looked like a destroyed satellite. His ship was badly damaged and we were barely able to communicate on the sector frequency. Soon after oberfeldwebel Kreuzchen and flieger Weiss arrived to our location and a reserve pilot Adrian Adelheid (RM-Adrian.Adelheid) contacted us that he wished to help us get out of Texas safely.
I ordered the reserve to scout around the Hudson jumphole and quickly plotted a few waypoints around the sun and to the jumphole. For our luck the jumphole was clear but just to be safe I ordered the reserve and flieger Porta to jump first, in case of an ambush on the other side. After that Joseph Porta jumped and the other oberfeldwebel and I were next. The flight around Hudson system was easy - no patrols spotted us and we quickly got to Hamburg system.
In Hamburg we had the Westfallen waiting for herr Porta. Once we arrived to the battleship herr Porta, the reserve pilot, Adrian Adelheid and I docked.
While I'm writing this report herr Porta is in the medical bay and is taken care of.
