Dem Reichsluftfahrtminister war der ursprüngliche Grabstein nicht groß genug: Er spendierte den großen, aufrecht stehenden, den man mit einer Mauer verwechseln könnte. Dieser Stein wurde 1975 nach Wittmund (zum Bundeswehrgeschwader Richthofen) transportiert, als von Richthofen (siehe 1975) nach Wiesbaden überführt wurde. Der Stein wurde 2017 vom Kasernengelände verbannt und wieder nach Berlin, auf den Invalidenfriedhof verbracht. (picture source: http://www.frontflieger.de/4-ric13.html)

17GW493 – 17GW502 Richthofen was buried with full military honours, with much saluting and presenting of arms, on 22 April 1918 at Bertangles. Six Australian pilots served as pall bearers. However, some of the local people did not view the Boche warrior and slayer of their aviators with the same respect and that night the grave was desecrated.

17GW491 Two Spandau IMG 08 were fitted to the cowling of the Fokker Triplane. On the Red Baron’s last fight one of the weapons had ceased to function and the other was misfiring because of a split firing pin. Lieutenant May would likely have been shot down had the guns been working. Richthofen had released his harness and was working to free the mechanism when a single bullet fired from below fatally wounded him. (picture source: The Great War Illustrated 1917, William Langford & Jack Holroyd) 
Injuries to his face were caused by him impacting with his machine guns. He had released his harness to work on a malfunctioning gun. (picture source: The dramatic true story of the Red Baron, Wiliam E Burrows, 1972, Mayflower Books)

Das schönste Wesen, das je die Welt geschaffen hat, ist die echte Ulmer Dogge, mein ‘kleines Schoßhündchen’, der Moritz. Richthofen und sein Kamerad Zeumer kauften für 5 RM zwei Welpen und nannten sie ‘Max und Moritz’ – so wie die beiden ‘bösen Buben’ aus Wilhelm Buschs Lausbuben- Geschichte. Max fiel einem Verkehrsunfall zum Opfer. Moritz bezahlte seinen Übermut mit ‘einem Ohr’. Gerhard Böhme (Bruder des Pour le Mérite-Fliegers Erwin Böhme) versorgte die Verletzung, deren Ursache eine ‘unliebsame Begegnung’ mit einem Propeller gewesen war.

When Richthofen posed for this photograph in Cologne on 1 May 1917, his days as a neophyte student observer were two years behind him. But it must have given personal satisfaction to stand before an Albatros trainer similar to the one in which he had made his first flights. The 52-victory ace and Pour le Mérite recipient was on his way to meet Kaiser Wilhelm II the following day. Richthofen’s luncheon appointment with the Supreme Warlord also fell on his own 25th (and last) birthday, after which he went home to Schweidnitz to work on his memoirs. Surely, the exhilaration of those early days was clearly in mind when he wrote: (see event 207) (picture source: The Illustrated Red Baron – The life and times of Manfred von Richthofen – Peter Kilduff -Cassel & Co – 2000)

This undated photograph shows Richthofen’s Albatros sometime after 6 July. The elevator, horizontal stabilizers, and wings have been removed, as was common with and likely in preparation for towed transport. The airplane attitude reveals the tailskid has been repaired, and a temporary braces has been fitted to the starboard landing gear struts and wing stub to which the struts appear lashed via straps and perhaps rope. Poor photo quality prevents discerning such details absolutely, and it is unknown if there was a similar arrangement to port. Final disposition of this airplane is unknown to the author.

The classic view of Richthofen’s Albatros D.V after his forced landing in Comines, taken at Point “a” in the aerial view. Severals signs of damage can be noted. Sagging leading edge tape is visible on the lower port wing, and the rear horizontal flying surfaces appear to be sitting directly on the ground. The starboard wheel appears pushed up towards the wing, and close examination of the original photo reveals a wire – perhaps one of the telephone wires Richthofen took out while landing – protruding from behind the spinner and extending back beyond the gear struts. An object, possibly a fence post, can be seen lying on the ground behind the soldier on the far left. This could have caused some of the damage the Albatros sustained upon landing. Note hedged building to the right of the spinner. At this aproximate location today a building foundation and hedge can still be seen. The Comines steeples (apparent here as a distant smudge) are visible beyond the trees, above the starboard aileron.

Graphic depiction of the 6 JUly aerial battle. Rate of average altitude loss is dependent upon the time of the German attack and varies between accounts; thus, two are shown. Crosses mark Richthofen’s estimated attack altitude and are plotted against each No. 20 Squadron altitude loss time frame, as well as Air Defense Officer Ltn. Hans Schröder’s estimation of Richthofen’s fall 15 minutes after the battle began. The roundel reveals that in both time frames No,10 Squadron triplanes arrived too late and too low to attack Richthofen before his wounded descent.

“Top: Elevation of the bullet that struck Richthofen, travelling at 30 degrees above/below the horizontal. Note that if fired from below, the bullet must have passed through the lower port wing before striking the head. Below: Azimuth of the bullet that struck Richthofen, fired from eiter 10 or 4 o’clock. Either would have arrived from a blind spot. The dashed line indicates the bullet flight path is below – not through – the upper port wing.” (picture source: Inside the victories of Manfred von richthofen – Volume 1, James F.

The wound as covered by the localized dressing.

Although no photographs of Richthofen’s tangential gunshot wound are known to exist, Medical illustrator David Peace’s depiction, based on his personal experience with combat wounds and information furnished him by the author, reveals how a vertically-oriented (when viewed in profile) wound may have looked as it appeared to surgeons. This illustration graphically depicts the wound’s severity beyond that of a mere graze. Normal scalp tension caused the wound to gape to a size of roughly 10 x 6 cmand expose enough of Richthofen’s skull to reveal the Lamboid suture, visible here as a squiggly line at the extreme lower right aspect of the wound. Note some discolored scarring of the skull at center, which depicts the observed roughness/presumed bullet groove. (picture source: Inside the victories of Manfred von richthofen – Volume 1, James F.

Richthofen’s Albatros D.V after his forced landing in Comines. The airplane’s starboard lean and closer-than-norma ground proximity of the empennage and lower starboard wing are apparent. Each is below the knees of nearby personnel – and almost as low as those of the dog. This view affords a good view of the fuselage cross and its ‘subdued’ white border, the reason for which eludes certainty.

17GW436 The Richthofen brothers, Lothar and Manfred, have their photographs taken alongside one of their new mounts – the Fokker Triplane. This type of machine had its own distinctive handling characteristics; this was especially the case because the engine rotated, wherease the Albatros engines where stationary. Pilots of Geschwader 1 who had only flown the Albatros reeived familiarization of the type by flying first the Fokker DV biplanes, which were not intended for frontline use.

In late August 1917, the new Fokker Dr.I Triplane was brought to the front by its designer, Dutchman Anthony Fokker. This picture shows a group of high-ranking German officers visiting JG1 at Marckebeke at this time. To the left of von Richthofen is Oberleutnant Fritz von Falkenhayn (son of General Erich von Falkenhayn, Chief of the German General Staff), who had been a memberof BAO. Almost centre in the light coat is German Chancellor, Dr Georg Michaelis. The bearded man is General Friedrich Sixt von Arnim, commander of the German Fourth Army. (picture source: The Red Baron, a history in pictures, Norman Franks, 2016, Pen & Sword Books) 
Among the staff officers accompanying General Sixt von Armin was the Officer in Charge of Aviation, Hauptmann Helmuth Wilber, who made his own inspection of JG 1 accompanied by Richthofen and Bodenschatz.

An Albatros D.V identified as Richthofen’s undergoes museum restoration. Said to be 2059/17, it has both similar and dissimilar features of that machine and thus may actually be several machines cobbled together to form one whole.

Richthofen during the Kaiser military parade, 20 August. Although a military event that required attendance, photographs such as this reveal light-hearted moments in which Richthofen freely mingled with comrades. Here, a smiling Richthofen walks with Rudolf Berthold (left) and Eduard Dostler (over Richthofen’s left shoulder). It is poignant to note that the day after this light-hearted scne, Dostler was shot down and KiA. (picture source: Inside the victories of Manfred von richthofen – Volume 2, James F.

Rear-quarter view of the Zeughaus Albatros D.V. No serial number is visible but the empennage does have diamond-shaped braces frequently seen on second production batch Albatros D.Vs, including 2059/17. If it is that airplane, it has been completely repainted and information placards have been applied directly to the fuselage.
