Have to share a bed Memory
Flashes of being with Werner. We are both tired and have a room where we are sharing a bed. I am sitting on the edge taking off my boots. Werner is on the other side doing the same. He gets into the covers first while I am removing the rest of my clothes. He is lying on his back and trying to get comfortable. I finish stripping down to my underwear and turn off the lamp.
I crawl into the covers to discover that this bed is going to be a bit tight for the both of us. I don't have a comfortable place to put my arm. I elbow Werner a few times. he elbows me back. We discuss the fact that this bed is just a few inches too small then the topic of women come up. I get the impression that we were both short on funds and had hoped to find some nice women to sleep with for the night. We had no such luck and our train arrived late. I have no idea where we were going.
I don't se or feel that the Pour le Mérite is next to the bedside so this must be while we are still with Jasta 2. I try lying on my side away from Werner. I can't fall asleep. He also rolls to the opposite direction. I am cold and turn over to my other side and discover I have more space because Werner has moved. I am lying pretty close to him. He looks over his shoulder and says "You are poking me in the back. Are you horny again?" I reply that I am always horny. I say in a manner of fact tone that I can't help it. He makes some comment about Hauptmann Boelcke, but I can't remember what and why it was relevant.
I curl up behind Werner to get warm and remark, "Maybe we shall find some nice girls tomorrow." He says something about Hauptmann Boelcke again and someone else, but I can't....understand it. Something is blocking me from remembering. It is as if we are discussing something we suspect or it is something that is not commonly known. We talk about how Boelcke likes to spank people and how he has done it to me a couple of times. I make a comment that kind of stuff was common in the normal military schools ad later on in the ranks. It is to be expected that some men do things that way while others don't. Some can deal with it while others can't. It all boils down to politics. Boelcke was not so good at politics. He pissed people off at times.
I get the impression that we both want to like old Ozzie, but at times he made such a jerk of himself that we could not help but be angry with him. I sense that we discuss Max Immelmann, but I don't know what we are saying. Maybe it is that Boelcke and Immelmann did not always get along. Despite our topic of conversation, I am still horny and want to give my friend a kindly poke. Werner either looks at me or says something that we should really not get into the habit of doing that like so-in-so. I can't understand who he is referring to. I give him a little nudge. He says, Manfred," in a somewhat scolding tone of voice. I tell him I'm horny, and I can't sleep. I suggest that just once as I give a little thrust. He gives out a noise of pleasure and says just once and that he didn't want to make it a habit like so-in-so.
Werner didn't want people to think that we were weird. I am assuming that by people, he meant the other officers and pilots in the Jasta. I have the strong impression that there were two officers in Jasta 2 that played with each other on such a regular basis that we rarely invited them out to meet women because they rarely accepted the invitation. I have the feeling that Werner and I could easily get the attention of the prettiest ladies and rarely had to settle for just male intimacy. To put it in modern terms.....we were chick magnets. : )
