Source: BArch PH 17-I/97 (page 4) “The illustrated document, a report from the Reuters news agency in Amsterdam, is the first detailed report on the circumstances of Richthofen’s death. Even here, the fatal bullet is attributed to an Australian machine gunner who fired at the low-flying Richthofen from the ground.”
