July 30th, 1941

50KM east of Halfaya Pass

The war continues on throughout the desert. News comes in from U Boats operating in the Mediterranean Sea. They are doing quite well, sinking and finishing off any crippled ships trying to break into Malta. Hopefully, the island will starve to submission by combined cooperation between us and the Italians. Spies are informing the U Boats of enemy movement thoughout the world. For me and my little squadron of ME-109 fighters, the past few weeks were uneventful. From the start, enemy air activity has since moved on to greener pastures, since we won Halfaya Pass. Rommel is perusing the British back over the Lybian/Egyptian boarder. In the mean time, my fighter squadron has since started to pack up to move back to Sicically, this time to Polermo, not Syracuse. I was glad to go back to that lustrious green isle, with it's sweet scents, beautiful harbor and bountiful waters. Salinda has move back to Emden, but I haven't heard from her since. Hans looked anxious as well, the man always hated to move. Sad for a man serving with the Luftwaffe. God be with him.
