tudsz magyarul?
i surf on the internet and found this text! wait a moment and i find again this page! ha tudsz magyarul akkor inkább úgy mondom! szval keresgéltem a neten és akkor akadtam rá a szövegre de ha vársz egy kicsit akkor megkeresem neked a honlap címét ha kell! MvR 1st victory report: September 17th saw von Richthofen begin his official score card, when Jasta 2 attacked a formation of eight BE2c from No.12 RFC, protected by six FE2b of No.11 RFC. Diving out of the sun, each pilot singled out a separate enemy. Richthofen riddled a FE2b, and it fell near Villers Pluich. Both pilot & observer were mortally wounded, although the pilot was able to get the aircraft down to a controlled crash landing. The pilot, a 2Lt Morris, died on the way to hospital. Sept 17 1916 Vickers No.7018 Motor No.701 Nos.17314, 10372 Nr Villers Plouich 11am When patrol flying I detected shrapnel clouds in the direction of Cambrai. I hurried forth and met a squadron which I attacked shortly after 11.00am. I singled out the last machine and fired several times at close range (10 meters). Suddenly the enemy propeller stood still. The machine went down gliding and I followed until I had killed the observer who had not stopped shooting until the last moment. At approx. 1200 meters a second German machine came along and attacked my victim right down to the ground and then landed next to the English plane. Frhr. v.Richthofen Lieut. Have a nice day! További szép jó napot! MvR HU Last edited by Manfred von Richthofen HU; 29 July 2009 at 12:53 PM. |

What about Herman Göring and MvR? They were friend or not?
I think they were not friend!

the edit button was lost sorry the new post!
i have a question! What was Manfred hairstyle? has anybody got a photo? i saw a photo where Manfred and  Kurt Wolff speaking and Manfred has got a "new" hairstyle! Manfred and Kate romance is fiction? I read a forum Kate and Manfred not friend but the propaganda must have this romance! I dont think this was propaganda because Manfred mother wrote MvR loves Kate and Kate love Manfred too! So i think this is not propaganda!

Hello,
The Illustrated Red Baron that I own contains no such info. I have this fine book open before me now and the caption above the photo of MvR and KO on page 89 states: "A popular photograph of Richthofen and Käte Otersdorf, his nurse at the hospital in Courtrai, might have suggested a romantic link, but the rigid pose of both and the distance between them clearly signalled that theirs was an entirely professional relationship." Kunigunde referred to MvR loving "this one girl," but no name was ever mentioned.
