Whats your favorite photo of MVR?
Richthofen had lots of photographs of him so theres plenty to choose from
My favorite is this one...
Plus I like photos like this that take place at evening times.

Not to be morbid, but for personal reasons I am rather partial to the one of him strapped to the sheet of corrugated iron with a bit of baking powder make-up. The family photo of him as a little girl is pleasing, also.
Well, you asked......

It is quite an eerie photo.Its also strange to see this photo compared to those when he was alive,full of life.He doesn't look the same.The disturbing aspect of this photo is that you can see that he has a deviant grin.Kind of makes you wonder.
As for his early childhood photo...

To be personal I assume you must be at least 90+ years old...
