When the flying mates of your victims give you full respect in death, that means you were one Hell of a pilot.
-
The fact that the giant Richthofen monument behind the grave blocked the bullets of border guards firing at people trying to escape the east mede me smile. Even dead he kept fighting
-
110 years later and we still recognize him as one of the best pilots ever.
-
You, Mark, have in this clip shown more respect to the Red Baron then most others ever have in 105 years.
-
ghost of the Red Baron: "What the hell? they moved my grave." ghost of Abe Lincoln: "First time?"
-
Meanwhile, Biographics channel just released a bio about him, like 5 minutes ago. ..... Everyone struggling to keep up with The Mark. 😅

I never knew my grandfather as he died in 1939, but, as an Australian soldier, he was apparently one of the souvenir takers after the Red Baron’s plane came down. According to the family he returned to Australia after the war with the Red Baron’s fountain pen. And I’m told that after the war that the Red Baron’s widow put an ad in Melbourne newspapers asking for any souvenirs to be returned to the Richthofen family. I’m told that my grandfather sent back the pen and received a thank you letter from the baron’s widow. Unfortunately I have never seen this letter and so can’t verify the story.

The Australians showed a lot of respect, especially the pilots who carried the coffin , they removed their hat and looked like they were burying one of their own, even a priest was there to have the prayers of the dead. Full military funerals.
-
Im extremely grateful for the existence of this channel. Mark, you have done it again!
-
My grandfather, George Bell, was a member of 3rd Squadron, AFC, was there when the Red Baron was shot down. It is fair to say that he collected a souvenir which will be donated to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra along with a cache of his other memorabilia. I have original photographs of the wreckage and the grave along with a copy of the squadron history book called “The Battle Below”. Fascinating story.
-
The Australians gave him the full respect he deserved
-
As an Aussie, our history tend to focus and memorialise primarily the Gallipoli campaign everything else being a satellite. I’m surprised this doesn’t come up more often, outstanding work once again Mark.

0:02 History channel: "your overconfidence is your weakness..." Mark: "your faith in aliens is yours..."
-
The Aussies did the best job honoring his death and showed their respect, just like the Baron did himself for his so called enemies.
-
Very classy for the “enemy” to treat the dead that way. WW1 was the last war to be so polite to each other, yet so violent.
-
Manfred looks like such a wholesome person when he is with his dog.
-
And he’s flying! HIGHER, THE KING OF THE SKY HE’S FLYING TO FAST AND HE’S FLYING TOO HIGH! HIGHER, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, THE LEGEND WILL NEVER DIIIIEEEE!!

As an Aussie myself I don't recall hearing that it was Australian troops that shot him down. I'm encouraged to see the level of honour and respect afforded the young hero. Even in war it is proper to recognise it's grevious nature. Well done Mark I love your videos
-
A hero of mine since childhood. A true hunter, in the forests of Silesia and in the skies of France. Thank you, Mark, for another well researched video.
