A case for the Luftwaffe. 1 October 1943 on Eastern Front
"On 1 October, Petermann participated in the escort of 40 He 111 twin-engine bombers. On the return journey his Bf 109 G-6 (W.Nr. 15851) received a direct hit from German flak. He received severe wounds to his left arm and wrist and his left foot. With his engine on fire, he decided to bale out but found his parachute had also been damaged. He managed a belly-landing in no-man’s land between the front lines where he was rescued by German troops and hospitalised. However the wounds to left arm were so severe that amputation was necessary. In addition he had lost the fourth toe of his left foot. Petermann was awarded the Ritterkreuz on 29 February 1944, for 60 victories, while recovering in hospital."
