Just curious as to how the above quotes
prove any Reports false(or true) for that matter. based on a diary does give it a first hand account but the Description Blood red triplane could be relative to a bird with red upper wing, upper fuselage and tail just as easily as an ALL RED triplane. If these quotes are from any book published during the years of the Third reich would'nt it have been heavily edited? Finally, by this time wouldn't MvRs Overall Blood Red Triplane have been the expected image one would portray of Richthofens bird in any writing, and probably added by editors if not included ?
DSA,
You have said numerous times that you suspect the reports because of the way the Dates are presented. Month, Day, Year. I completely understand the Rest of the World uses Day, Month, Year.. Are you referring to the dates being wrong in the translation or the Original? If the translation, was this done by an American, for a report to American( US) officials, for the Imperial War Museum etc.? I just want to be clear! other than the colors you disagree with are there other glaring errors? In other words what kind of discrepancies do you see in the translations other than the afore mentioned date and color issues? I do not know about others but this will help me understand your position on these reports and why you feel other dedicated researches have been taken in by them.
Finally I hope I haven't missed something which answers these questions, I try to follow but sometimes things seem to run together and I miss something I should have seen
