“Otto Brauneck, who was transferred to Jasta 11 on 9 April 1917, wrote to his parents on 20 April 1917: ‘Everyone is very nice, especially Richthofen, who you don’t address as Rittmeister but only by his name, who is of a small, strong build and brimming with health, with very light blond hair and large blue eyes…”'(Original private property of Frau Papendiek, sister of Otto Brauneck, copy Michael Schmeelke collection)
