I too have a bias, perhaps...
...my grandmother was Bavarian.
I suspect one reason why we are attracted to the Central Powers is that they lost the war. Once the US entered, Germany was on the defensive so one might tend to see Richthofen and his comrades as being in an underdog position. There is a sense of "end of an era" as they take off against superior numbers, knowing the war cannot be won, but do their duty anyway.
