I don't know if anybody else would find this interesting, but I sent an idea to the History Channel concerning their show "History's Mysteries".

As many of you already know,

Manfred von Richthofen's brother Lothar was a pretty good ace himself, ending the war with 40 kills.

Lothar died in a plane crash in the 1920's. His body was buried next to his fathers in a cemetery in Germany. I was told that either in the 1940's or 1950's this cemetery had all of its headstones removed and it was converted into a park.

I thought it would be interesting to try to locate Lothar and his fathers bodies and relocate them to the von Richthofen family plot in Weisbaden.
