Another Great Richthofen find on ebay
Hi All,
Check out ebay item 6617657540, if you want to learn a few things. It's an amazing piece of memorabilia from Louis Richthofen, Manfred's OLDER brother! Seems he emigrated to the Us after the war, etc etc. Greg

Another Great Richthhofen Fin On ebay
Manfred had two brothers whose names were Lothar and
Bolko. This other man might have been his uncle.

Louis von R.
 Moved to the US after the war and led a quiet life making furniture??? !!! This is a gem, Greg! Thanks for sharing. FliegerJG1 Seriously, to set the record straight, this guy has no idea of what he's saying. Manfred was the oldest of 3 brothers in his family...he had an older sister, Ilse. The Richthofen family was large and I don't know of any flying "Louis." I believe that some relatives did fly also but not as extensively as MvR and Lothar.
