Richthofen und Friends

A 40-minute film with lots & lots of Jagdfliegern whom veteran Forumites no doubt can ID. Quite a passel of 'em at 17 minuten, and don't miss Moritz ready to go Fiegering at 24 or so.

Fascinating film. But what was the thing Manfred had attached to his head by a strap? Can see it several times when he is without cap.

Hello Pips,

It is a dressing for a head wound he received in aerial combat on July 6, 1917

Best regards,
Aerobuff

Cheers Aerobuff. I had seen his head heavily bandaged in photo's, but not the one in the film.

Thanks for that Barrett.

It's unusual to see MvR without the PLM in the dog scenes.

What's the scoop on Lother's relationship with Goring; close, distant, respectful, disdainful?

Talking

Mates,
You can buy a copy from Steven Spielberg and his Holocaust Historical society like I did 10 yrs ago. And just for reference there are two films available for a reasonable cost. If you would like the form and the address, just drop me a line at tcrean7828@yahoo.com.

Some fantastic footage there, I hadn't seen the bit with Voss before.

I don't recall reading anything about LvR's relationship with Goring, likely "correct" more than friendly. Lothar certainly was not a company man.

Don't recognize most of the players, starting with the PlM group at 9 minutes (Lothar on the far right.) There's a couple of baldish-elfish looking chaps, one taller than the other, to G's right.

Also:

16:40

31-32 minutes and 37.
