In Chapter I of his book 'The Red Air Fighter' von Richthofen records that he was born in Breslau where his father was in the 1st Regiment of Cuirassiers. Does anyone know where exactly in Breslau (now Wroclaw in Poland) the Red Baron's birth place is physically located?

John,

You might contact Susan Hayes Fischer. She is one of the Issue Editor's of Over The Front and has made at least one, maybe more trips there. She has been to both Schweidnitz and Breslau on fact finding missions. She is publishing a book that is an expanded translation of Frau Richthofen's "Mein Kriegstagebuch" a diary of letters during the war. I'll look for her email address and get back to you, or you can look on the inside cover of the Winter Issue of Over The Front and write to her address.
