Da Vater Richthofen die militärische Karriere für seinen ältesten Sohn gewählt hatte, trat Manfred v. R. im August 1903 in die Kadetten-Anstalt Wahlstatt an der Katzbach (heute Legnickie Pole/ Polen) ein. Dort bewohnte er dieselbe Stube, die 50 Jahre zuvor Paul von Beneckendorf und von Hindenburg (späterer Generalfeldmarschall und Reichspräsident) bewohnt hatte. In das ehemalige Benediktiner- Kloster wurde 1840 die Kadettenanstalt einquartiert.

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.

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.

Escorting bombers was not to Richthofen's liking as he much preferred the hunting role rather than the defending one. Although equipped with theTriplanes some JG 1 pilots continued to fly the Albatros, as teething troubles were experienced with the new three-winged machines.

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.

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.

Information
Many thanks to Detlev Mahlo who kindly supplied the following information:
The photography is a rare aerial view of the airfield of the famous Jasta 2 (later: Jasta Boelcke) at Lagnicourt,which I had never seen before in such detail and quality. The photograph should be of some historical value for researchers and historians about WW1 air war.
In the lower right angle of two roads entering the village, you can spot the tents, which the Jasta (Jagdstaffel = fighter squadron) used for maintenance and covering of their aircraft. Near the road that goes to the bottom of the photo, we see a curved row of Albatros D.I or D.II scouts - the new fighter which regained air superiority for the Another Albatros can be seen a little further down and right - maybe just starting or landing. In the tent area we also find 3 Albatros.
Jasta 2 had its airfield at Lagnicourt from 22 September - 4 December 1916. It was commanded by Germany's top scoring ace at that time: Hauptmann Oswald Boelcke. The date the photo was taken lies only 5 days before Boelcke's death - he died in a flying accident on 28 October 1916. (Source: "The Jasta Pilots" and "Above the Lines", both Norman Franks & Frank Bailey, Grub Street, London).
It is most likely, that this aerial photography was made to trace and locate the Jasta's home field, as Jasta 2 was the most notorious fighter squadron of that time. (Boelcke alone had at this time shot down 38 enemy air-craft. Manfred von Richthofen was flying under Boelcke there, before he later became commander of his own Jagdstaffel 11).
I had made a detailed description of what the photo shows, in a forum of flight simulation. I know that is not a scientific or historical environment, but it may explain the detail a bit better.

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.

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.

Aerial view of La Brayelle aerodrome. This expansive pre-war airfield served many German units and was Jasta 11's home from October 1916 until mid-April 1917. After Richthofen's tenure there began in January 1917 he amassed 28 credited victories. (DEHLA Collection) (picture source: Inside the victories of Manfred von richthofen - Volume 1, James F.

Note Richthofen's abundant clothing to stave the cold at altitude, including a thick scarf wrapped securely around his neck and face - not trailing down his back loosely to flap in the wind a la airshow and Hollywood cliché.

Richthofen suits up pre-flight at Roucourt, presumably next to Le Petit Rouge. Photographs reveal Albatroses occasionally had their serial numbers chalked onto the ailerons, and thisd appears to have been done with this machine. Tantalizingly, the serial number is illegible.

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.

The wound as covered by the localized dressing. In this view the straps lay across the wide portion atop the dressing but they may have been integrated within it; known photographs do not depict this area in detail. In any event, though the wound is covered, the position of the dressing reveals the vertical orientation. (picture source: Inside the victories of Manfred von richthofen - Volume 1, James F.

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.
