Janzen describes MvR

Johann Janzen, pilot and later Staffelführer of Jagdstaffel 6 in Jagdgeschwader 1 from 16 October 1917 to 9 June 1918, reported to Alex Imrie: “Richthofen had an incredible sense for the flight maneuvers of our opponents. It seemed as if he knew them in advance. Sometimes he performed maneuvers that at first seemed quite strange to us, for example, to lure enemy aircraft over our lines and then cut them off the way back. In the vast majority pf cases, his maneuvers were successful. Sometimes it was almost scary. When I later became a Staffel leader, I considered myself lucky to have learned so much from him.”
