Quote:
Richthofen war noch keine zehn Jahre tot, als im November 1927 der Dresdner Schauspieler Carl Walther Meyer in "Richthofen, der rote Ritter der Luft" abhob. Der Film war eine verwickelte Liebes- und Spionagestory, in der der Titelheld nur eine Nebenrolle spielte. Das Budget reichte gerade für einen einzigen flugtüchtigen Dreidecker, ansonsten half man sich mit Realaufnahmen aus dem Kriegsarchiv. "Richthofen" lief damals in der Berliner Vorstadt und in der Provinz. Heute ist er verschollen; einige Ausschnitte verwahrt die Bibliothek der University of Texas in Dallas.
Der Spiegel

Rough translation:
Richthofen's death was not 10 years ago as a actor from Dresden, Carl Walther Meyer" started in "Richthofen....". The plot was a somewhat complicated Love-and-Spy-Story. The hero himself took only a minor part. The budget was enough for just one flyable triplane, the rest was done with picture reels from the War Archives. "Richthofen" was shown in the Berlin suburbs as in the province. Today the movie is lost, some scenes are stored at the library of Texas University, Dallas.

That's the actor who played Richthofen (the left one). Of course this is from a different movie, but it gives an impression.
