‘I read an extract from a prisoner interrogation that the Richthofen fighter squadron survived: ’A few days ago, one of the prisoners visited the grave of Rittmeister von Richthofen. It is in the French civilian cemetery of Bertangles, north of Amiens, where only a few soldiers are buried. His name, rank, date of death and a few words of honour are inscribed in silver letters on a propeller. Flowers were planted on the grave. There were also some wreaths on it.” – ‘When will Manfred be buried in German soil!’
