When Berthold suffered his serious wounds that would result in the right arm becoming virtually useless, he asked Fokker to alter the controls of the DVII so he could fly it in combat with his left arm.

Bernert had lost the use of his left arm in the infantry but he never asked (by my knowledge) Albatros to alter the controls layout for right arms only. I think the layout was intended for right arms.

Kind regards,
