i read this:

The photograph of Manfred in a nun's habit was
obtained later for display in the Richthofen Museum at
Schweidnitz. The story behind it appeared in a later
edition of his memoirs: 'A young lady who said she
came from a good family wrote to me. This. lady is a
novice and will become a nun. In her convent cell she
has a picture of me that she had picl{ed up somewhere.
And then one day something bad happened: the abbess
came into the cell and saw the picture. The novice
received a severe reprimand and was told that prospective
nuns should not have pictures of men hanging in
~heir cells ~ not even when these men are well-l{nown
fighter pilots. The novice, therefore, had to remove the
picture. But ... she did something that perhaps flatters
if not misrepresents me. She wrote to a friend who was
already a nun and asl{ed her to send a large photograph
of herself. The friend did that. Then the poor girl cut
out the face of th~ photograph and stucl{ my face under
the nun's habit.' "Peter Kilduff:the illustrated red baron"

thanks for your help and the picture!
