You Tube also has the funeral film, along with other footage, including at least one German documentary.

Thank you so much for the link, Peter! There's a wealth of information online now, including the report written by C.E.W. Bean on Richthofen's death that I found as I read the description of the video.
Great stuff!!! FliegerJG1
