I mean, life at the airfield was quite relaxed (or so i've read) but there is also evidence to suggest otherwise.
This includes a quote by Lothar Von Richthofen about how alcohol was not allowed at the airfield. Can anybody substantiate what i'm saying with a quote or two..?


Thanks

If not a teetotaler, MvR was quite reserved with drink, to set an example, I suppose.

And also on the ground, after a mission, he was quite severe in his post-mission debriefs, as von der osten experienced.
